Evening Ghost Tour of Edinburgh Vaults
Description
Begin your evening with a stroll through the dark closes and wynds of Old Town Edinburgh before descending into the haunted Blair Street Underground Vaults, where the scents and sounds of the past come alive.
The tour concludes in a candlelit cellar, where you can enjoy a dram of Scotch whisky or a glass of locally made beer or soft drink, accompanied by intimate storytelling.
Lose yourself in the cries and taunts of a once-roaring crowd, and take your place as a member of the “Edinburgh mob” that once surged past the Mercat Cross.
Listen to grisly tales of witchcraft, torture and restless spirits as you venture down medieval closes and into the haunted vaults.
Hear the distant clatter of workmen and whispers of criminals as you are immersed in the atmosphere of the past.
Your cloaked storyteller will guide you through the dimly lit caverns, recounting stories that are as horrific as they are true.
As night thickens, gather together in the warmth of candlelight for more tales of Edinburgh’s ghostly and ghoulish past, and the tortured souls that still stalk the city’s streets.
This is a ghost tour to remember, with stories of blood, guts and gore, and a whisky to warm the heart.
Ready to see Edinburgh in a whole new light? Book your place and let the city’s stories come alive.
