Ghosts and Ghouls

Ticket Details

 

By day Edinburgh is a bright and busy city, but as night falls the old buildings and narrow closes take on a sinister air.  A long history of MURDER, TORTURE, HANGINGS AND PLAGUE has left a legacy, and the city has been called the most haunted in Europe.  Enter the Vaults beneath the South Bridge with your cloaked guide and hear stories of those who once occupied these dark chambers and perhaps still do….
End your tour in a candle-lit room in the Vaults, Megget’s Cellar, where you can enjoy a drink and hear more ghostly tales.

Price: £8.50
