Fantastic tour with Linda on a Saturday evening that entertained our group and kept the teenagers gripped for over 2 hours. Linda is a master storyteller, of the traditional art, and imparted in depth knowledge on Elgins secret history that will never be forgotten by the audience. We saw so much that we have walked past hundreds of times and not noticed. Content was very suitable for all ages and is tailored for the age of the audience. I would highly recommend and will be looking to join more of the tours on different subjects in the future. Bring your listening skills and a warm set of clothes for an enjoyable delve into 17 th century Elgin.

Just done the graveyard tour. Our fantastic guide dressed up in her victorian undertaker costume, was a great storyteller bringing old elgin to life with fine details and fantastic humour and a wee drop of spooky, well pitched for the girl guides I was with. Absolutely brilliant evening and great value for money. Cant wait to do another one.

Excellent tour with really passionate host. So interesting hearing about the history of Elgin combined with the spooky ghost stories - often first hand making them even better. Thank you so much!

Great evening and what a fantastic tour guide! We loved her top hat and zany costume. Who could have imagined the gruesome and secret stories she could tell about life (and death) in Elgin. Our tour guide was captivating and interesting and funny and engaging - even keeping the attention of the two teenagers in our family group. We would highly recommend this tour. Thankyou!

Our tour guide was brilliant. Full of historical facts and gory stories about Elgins past. Our family - adults and kids (two boys aged 10 and 13) all loved the tour. This was the kids first gory walking tour and our guide made sure she pitched it at just the right level for us all to enjoy. A great way to learn more about Elgin and feel a part of its history.

Kids loved the ghost stories and are still talking about them the day after. Our guide was very friendly and told us she tailors the stories to her current audience. Kept the kids engaged for a couple of hours
