Join the Multi-Sensory Haunted Underground Tour as dusk settles over Edinburgh's Old Town. Follow your cloaked guide through the lanes, then descend into the Blair Street vaults for tales of crime, execution and body snatching.
Full description
A cloaked storyteller leads this 75-minute evening tour from the lanes of the Old Town down into the underground chambers of Blair Street. The atmosphere comes from historical accounts of poverty, crime, executions and body snatching, supported by audio devices and a museum and film segment.
The tour suits people who prefer suspense and humour to jump scares, and reviewers note it held the attention of both adults and an eight-year-old. Departures run early in the evening.
