Description

Your ghostly guide is the deceased Alexander Clapperton, who was an Edinburgh Cemetery Director during the 1840s. Mr Clapperton will take you on a light-hearted journey through Edinburgh's dark past, telling tales of tortures, plague, witchcraft and invasion as he leads you through the Old Town's atmospheric closes and courtyards. En route Mr. Clapperton will introduce some Edinburgh characters summoned from the mists of time - so be prepared for a few laughs as well as the odd fright! Meeting point: Outside 'The Witchery by the Castle' restaurant, 352 Castlehill, Edinburgh EH1 2NF (some days in July & August we meet at our shop due to music concerts and the Military Tattoo being held at Edinburgh Castle). End point: Lawnmarket, Edinburgh EH1
