Thunderdices Edinburgh Old Town private ghost tour

Between crimes, monsters and ghosts.. the hidden Edinburgh private guided tour
Watch your steps... in Edinburgh, the Bloody Code held sway, with over 220 offenses carrying the penalty of death. Accompanied by storytellers, immerse yourself in our tour as we unveil spine-chilling accounts of crimes, hidden secrets, and ghosts
A murder often begins with a whisper. A robbery with a fleeting glimpse of a dagger. A lie with the meeting of two eyes.
Edinburgh holds within its ancient walls a wealth of secrets. Embark on a spine-chilling journey through the cobblestone streets and hidden closes of Edinburgh's Old Town, where history and horror intertwine to unveil the city's most sinister mysteries.
Tour Highlights:
Royal Mile: Commence your exploration on the historic Royal Mile, where tales of treachery and terror lurk beneath the surface. From a cunning thief who engineered the very safes he would later plunder to the grisly fate of a Marquis whose head adorned a prison entrance for 11 years, each cobblestone whispers chilling stories of the past.
Edinburgh Castle: Behind the grand facade of this royal residence lies a darker truth. Encounter legends of a headless drummer, a tragic escape ending in death, and a body concealed within the fortress's stone walls.
Grassmarket: Once a bustling market square, now known for its pubs, Grassmarket has a grim history as the site of public executions. Three centuries ago, it was a spectacle of justice, with criminals meeting their end at the gallows.
Greyfriars Kirkyard: Explore the shadowy history of grave robbers who roamed ancient churchyards, driven by greed for profit from the deceased. Uncover the infamous saga of Burke and Hare, who committed heinous murders to supply fresh corpses for medical research. Delve into tales of unsolved crimes and the chilling presence of human monsters lurking in the darkness.
