Edinburgh Horror Tours

Overview

Come on a historical journey of our city where you will be locked in a Private Prison site that is also a graveyard where the former residents stir once more to walk the places they knew in life, they are just dying to make your acquaintance.

History/Ghost Tour

Join us uncovering the dark, macabre past of Old Edinburgh.
Be prepared to be enthralled and entertained. Step by bloody step you are spirited back to that spine chilling era of horror. Learn about some of the two hundred crimes that could earn you that short walk to the gallows. Find out why a plague all but wiped out the city's inhabitants. Visit the actual streets, closes and wynds where Burke and Hare trawled, looking for their next victim. Stand on the very site where criminals were put to death by public execution. Discover the haunted side of Auld Edinburgh.
Follow us to Greyfriars' Cemetery, where you will hear the tear jerking story about the wee dog, Greyfriars'Bobby. Discover why one set of grave robbers was frightened to death and of the Covenanters who were imprisoned, tortured then murdered there.
Finally, enter the locked covenanters' prison and the DarkMausoleum, the most haunted site of them all. Capture on camera the sea of faces coming through the stonework in the tomb.
Meet us on the Royal Mile, outside the Fringe box office / police museum, where The Deacon will take you on our nerve wracking History/Ghost Tour through streets and closes of old Edinburgh.
