The tour starts at Mercat Cross, where participants join the crowd’s imagined roar from past public gatherings. After about half an hour, the group moves through the narrow medieval closes of Edinburgh Old Town, listening to stories about witchcraft, torture, and restless spirits for another 30 minutes. The walk leads to the Blair Street Underground Vaults, where the guide wearing a cloak shares detailed ghost stories inside the dimly lit vaults for around an hour. The experience concludes in Megget’s Cellar, a candlelit cellar where guests receive a free drink - either a dram of Scotch whisky, locally brewed beer, or a soft drink - while the storyteller continues with accounts of Edinburgh’s haunted history. This small-group tour lasts about two hours and includes exclusive access to the vaults and specially selected sound effects delivered through TourTalk audio devices to enhance the atmosphere.
