Overview

On this evening walk you will discover Edinburgh's dark side. Hangman's noose and witches' brew, heinous deeds and restless spirits - the closes of the Old Town will reveal their horrible secrets to those brave enough to listen. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

This tour can be anything from mildly spooky to full-on disturbing - just let me know!
