What to expect

The city of Edinburgh may be beautiful and quaint, but there's a far more sinister side that doesn't immediately meet the eye. You'll discover Greyfriars Graveyard, whose canine inhabitant, Bobby, watches over the infamous bodies buried within.

You'll hear the stories of some of the corpses beneath your feet, from their history to the myths and legends inspired by their fascinating lives. The Old Town Vaults have an especially dark past, having been home to criminals, brothels and witches, and are alive with tales of plenty of spirits still haunting the place.

Be prepared to feel chills down your spine as this tour gets under the skin of Edinburgh and takes you to the paranormal side of this historic city.
