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

    Nobody died. My cousin, Merlina was disappointed. We comforted her by telling that many people died previously and their tortured souls were still there

  • Grim history and ghost stories galore.

    Darren did a marvelous job. He told several intriguing tales from Edinburgh’s grim history and peppered it with truly terrifying ghost and supernatural stories. Highly recommend!
