Program details
Discover Edinburgh's history at its most chilling. We save the darkest, most sinister, most unsettling tales to last: this is our late night ghost tour. You will hear of bloody plots that led to treason and torture, and secret lives that lead to horrific deaths and tormented souls. You will discover the more disreputable character, and characters, of Edinburgh's dark closes. Our renowned Blair Street Underground Vaults, like our city, hide dark tales of dark deeds which we will share as candles flicker in the shadows.
