What to expect

Visit the scenes of many horrific tortures, murders and supernatural happenings on this award winning tour of historic Old Town Edinburgh. Your guide, under the cloak of darkness, is infamous Edinburgh highwayman, Adam Lyal (deceased), who was executed in Edinburgh on the 27th March 1811.

Mr Lyal will lead you through the haunted alleyways and dark courtyards of Old Town Edinburgh, telling tales of executions and torture, ghosts and witchcraft and the notorious 19th century trade of body snatching. The subject matter may be dark but Mr Lyal's approach is fairly light-hearted. With a ghost as your guide, there will no doubt be a few strange incidents on route whilst "jumper-ooters" provide guaranteed ghastly appearances! You can expect a truly terrible bunch of ghouls to be lurking in the shadows.

With your tour, you'll also receive a copy of the bestselling 'Witchery Tales' book which is essential bedtime reading and an ideal way to delve further into Edinburgh's darker history.
