The Witches Tour
Overview

We will unmask and trial two witches EXACTLY as they would have been trialled back in the 1600s (well we won't kill them but you know what i mean)
Follow the trail of tears and heart-breaking cries to the different points in town where the trials were held. Witness the debauchery and torture as it would have been (i promise i won't hurt anyone for real though, unless you ask me to?? )
You will also find out about some little known points of history en route.

5.00My partner and I did the witches tour on the 23rd august and loved it, Linda was very easy to talk to and her stories easy to follow. She did not make me feel like a burden with my disability, and was generally very fun, quirky and lovely. Rebecca and christy

5.00This was a great blast into the past of Scotland’s persecution against the fear of witchcraft with a good measure of interesting local history about the architecture and layout of the city.
Brought the past to life!

5.00The depth of knowledge and enthusiasm bought to the experience by the “mad nun” (tour guide) made the trip truly memorable and informative.
