Description

Step into the shadowy underworld of Edinburgh, where the cobbled streets whisper stories of the dead. On this spine-tingling tour, you’ll delve into the forgotten crypts, graveyards, and hidden passageways that have witnessed centuries of death, tragedy, and lingering spirits. As you walk through Edinburgh’s eerie alleys and historic burial sites, your guide will share chilling tales of those who never truly left. Discover the ghostly figures that haunt the tombs beneath St. Giles’ Cathedral, and hear of the restless souls trapped in the city’s ancient vaults, forever bound to the place where they perished. With each step, you’ll uncover secrets from Edinburgh’s darker history — from plague victims and murderers to victims of witch hunts and those lost in the shadows of time. But beware… because some of these spirits still wander, waiting to share their sorrowful tales with those brave enough to listen.
