Your knowledgeable guide takes you to Greyfriar's Kirkyard, home of the famous Greyfriar's Bobby – nice dog – who had cocked his leg where rotting corpses lay below and whose names were made famous in many novels and history books, sending chills down many a reader's spine.
Then on to the infamous and haunted Niddry Street underground vaults, most haunted place in Edinburgh and probably one of the scariest in the world! Once home to the destitute, prostitutes, criminals, witches and a hell-fire club, and is possessed by something evil that awaits you

Interesting, entertaining and fun! Ally was a great tour guide, charming and funny! Definitely recommend the tour in the evening to add to the spookiness :)

SO MUCH FUN! We had James as our guide and, while our group was on the larger side, he handled it beautifully. He was fun and engaging and really brought us back to 18th century Scotland. The graveyard and vaults were really neat to see and we just loved all of his stories and commentary. Highly recommend!!

The Vaults can have water on the floors and are slippery. We had a great time walking the graveyard and Vaults.
