Overview
The evening starts with a walk through the dark alleys of Old Town Edinburgh, followed by a descent into the Blair Street Underground Vaults. This tour ends in a candlelit cellar for a drink and ghost stories.
The air filled with cries and taunts, and a crowd of thousands demanding the punishment of the two men. Stand as a member of the “Edinburgh mob” that once rioted past the Mercat Cross.
Hear tales of witchcraft, torture, and spirits as you move through medieval alleys and the Blair Street Underground Vaults. A cloaked guide will lead you through dim caverns, sharing true and horrific stories.
As night falls, gather in Megget’s cellar for a whisky, local lager, or soft drink.
