Join an intense ghost tour, recommended for adults only. You’ll walk through some of the Old Town’s narrow streets and hidden alleyways before heading underground into the Blair Street Vaults.
Along the way, you’ll hear true stories from Edinburgh’s darker past — including crime, punishment, and people whose lives ended in grim ways. These aren’t legends or tall tales; they’re all based on real events.
The tour starts at the Mercat Cross and takes you through parts of the city where murders, betrayals, and other unsettling events once took place. You’ll then head into the underground vaults, a quiet, dim space where time feels like it’s stood still.
Your guide will share stories of what happened in these vaults — from the people who once lived here to the harsh conditions they faced. You might even notice the chill, the silence, and the atmosphere that make this place so memorable.
