This 75-minute evening walking tour begins in Edinburgh's Old Town, where the guide, portraying a notable historical figure connected to the city's darker past, leads the group through narrow alleys called wynds and closes. The guide shares true stories of hangings, torture, murders, witchcraft, and ghostly encounters. The tour then visits Greyfriars Kirkyard, known as one of the most haunted graveyards in the world, where guests hear about its eerie history and reported supernatural activity. After exploring the graveyard, the group descends into the Edinburgh Vaults beneath South Bridge. These underground chambers, completed in 1788, once housed taverns and storage for illicit goods, including bodies used in medical experiments by the serial killers Burke and Hare. During the tour, visitors may notice unusual sounds and smells associated with the locations. The tour starts at 6:45 pm and is suitable for families but excludes children under five years old.
