Overview
Walk with me through the uneasy history of Edinburgh’s dark side. We’ll start at Edinburgh’s most infamous cemetery and then walk the footsteps of criminals, witches and maybe even ghosts. You’ll learn about the city’s blood soaked past through locations, anecdotes and stories. Best experienced as the sun goes down and shadows fill the streets.
Wear comfortable shoes for walking and be aware that there are no public toilets on the route. Some topics may be unsuitable for young children.
The tour is spoken in English but a printed guide is available in French, Spanish, Italian or German.
Meeting points
Go to the main Entrance of the National Museum of Scotland and we will meet outside by the stirs (between the 2 purple 'Entrance' banners). It is on Chambers Street accessibly via South Bridge or George IV Bridge. It is a short walk from the Royal mIle.
End point
This activity ends back at the meeting point.
