Meeting point

Mercat Cross, High Street, EH1 1RF, Edinburgh

  • Get exclusive access to the city’s oldest, deepest vaults and explore Edinburgh's underbelly with a live guide
  • Hear about the city's horrible history, from tall tenements to tales of torture, then indulge in some Scottish ghost stories
  • Fill up on secrets and stories about the people who lived and worked in Edinburgh’s underworld, then see it for yourself!

It's a side of Edinburgh few get to see, but under those bustling streets is a whole new, dark, eerie world!

This guided tour sheds light on the Scottish capital's rather grizzly past. You'll start on the Royal Mile and pop on an audio headset to better your hear your guide, then it's time to wend your way past wynds and closes, learning a thing or two about the nature of the mysterious alleys that dot the city's most famous road.

After learning the meaning of 'gardyloo' and hearing a tale or two about torture, your guide will pose a question... do you believe in ghosts? Ghostly Tours takes a supernatural twist as you head to your last destination, the Blair Street Underground Vaults.

Step into the depths of the city's oldest vaults and explore cavernous rooms by candlelight. Your guide will weave tales of strange spectres that have been sighted and speculate on whether body snatchers hid their goods in the vaults before selling them on for medical research.

Go to the meeting point (Mercat Cross, High Street) and show your smartphone ticket.
