Description

On the Free Edinburgh Ghost Tour, we discover the disturbing stories hidden in Edinburgh's Royal Mile, from its narrow and dark alleys to the emblematic Canongate cemetery.

Don't miss this summary of the dark history of the city of Edinburgh, where ghosts, murderers, body snatchers, witches, and even Satan himself will accompany us as we walk through the narrow streets of the old part. This overpopulated area after the Industrial Revolution offered a very low quality of life, which accentuated the belief in legends, some of them truly cruel and bloody. This, mixed with layers of Celtic culture and popular legends, was the perfect breeding ground for developing a city that hid from the law and created its own micro-universe.

*This tour is not recommended for children under 5 years old due to the themes addressed during the visit.

What a wonderful tour - hosted by Adam

Adam did a superb job (11 Sept 2026 at 20:00). He was enthusiastic, knowledgable and cheeky, which made for a very memorable tour. Lots of great stories and he encourage everyone to participate by imagining they were victims of Edinburgh's archaic laws and superstitions. It's not easy to keep a group of tourists entertained and engaged for several hours. He also managed to execute several good jump-scares along the way. Thoroughly enjoyable. The Carlton Cemetery is indeed a creepy place. Well done!

Interesting historic details on Edinburgh ghost tour
