About Walking Tour of Edinburgh's Haunted History :

Founded by King Malcolm III, who built the castle and watched a small town prosper, Edinburgh guarded against invasion with thick-stone walls but was a target for onslaught nonetheless. The city was plagued by hellish, squalid conditions due to overcrowding and poor sanitation. Violent crime was rife and punishments swift and harsh with Death by burning at The Castle and the hangman's gallows at The Grassmarket.
Since then, Edinburgh has been flooded with enigmatic, supernatural energy detected city-wide. Ghouls, spirits, and ghostly apparitions make regular appearances in The Royal Mile, in the city's graveyards and ambling streets, and the Castle, part of - experts say - a lingering spiritual residue over Edinburgh's earthly realm.
Your fascinating Edinburgh ghost tour is an immersive, eerie experience that delves into the city's most haunted nooks and crannies. Hear tales of terror, explore local legends, and discover the historic scenes of butchery and bloodshed. Your private guide will lead you on a slow-paced stroll through Edinburgh's ancient streets in Old Town, where hair-raising hauntings are frequent.
Please note, as this is a private tour, your guide will be able to make each story as eerie or as kid-friendly as you request to have the best experience for everyone.
