Edinburgh Castle
Witches; Trial & Truth
Bear witness to the accusations, the trials and finally the truth. Learn the names and stories of the real people who suffered in Scotland’s witch trials as you follow in their final, tragic footsteps.
Accused, tried, and tortured. Step into Scotland’s shadowy past on this immersive five-star Edinburgh history tour. Follow in the final tragic footsteps of those condemned as ‘witches’ and bear witness to the devastating truth.
You’ll be transported back to a dark time ruled by a crazed king and his obsession with ‘otherworldly phenomenon’. Under the spell of a master storyteller you’re invited to listen carefully and perhaps think again...
Persecution of the weak, the wise and skilled? Roused by fear and envy? Inflamed by religious zeal?
Feel the tension rise as you journey through Edinburgh’s Old Town, along ancient cobbled closes and hidden alleyways. With the conjured scent of smoke in the air and the echoes of crackling flames, stand upon the Castle Esplanade — the site where hundreds burned at the stake.
There was no justice in court, nor truth in tribunals for accused ‘witches’. On this tour, our award-winning master Storytellers shine a light on the truth behind the trials and the real reasons behind the witch crazes that swept like a plague for centuries, across Scotland and beyond.
The past is calling. Will you bear witness?
