She’s smelly, and she’s grumpy, but she can’t resist giving you a tour of the underground she’s called home for centuries! Lots of fun awaits everyone on this limited time tour!

was not sure what to expect from a Ghost Tour. At first, when all of us assembled, there was a man dressed in opulent Gothic attire. Sort of like a cross between Sherlock Holmes and Tim Burton characters. The first thing which really caught our attention is his voice. Raspy, gritty, and sarcastic beyond belief. Dr Knox felt like an alter ego of someone's internal thoughts. I digress. Our walk was approximately 1 and a half hours long. It was a walk through some of the most mysterious graveyards and underground bunkers of Edinburgh. While the history behind many of the attractions were grim, it was wonderful having an exceptionally quick witted and grumpy character being our guide through the hauntingly beautiful city of Edinburgh.

All in all would recommend to anyone looking for history with a pinch of condescending humour (not always at your expense!)

"She plays a haunting tune..."

03/07/2024

I Actually took a picture of a dark figure in the cellar that the children died in. I sent it to my dgt in the states but due to the time change we didn’t talk about it until the following day. I pulled the 2 pictures up that I took down there and that particular picture was gone!!!!! I went under all my settings and it was completely erased. My dgt was unable to see the video… it went from showing the cellar to black at the time you could see the shadow. How is it possible?!? Only one other person beside me saw it and it’s because I showed her right after I took it.. I have NEVER had a picture wiped from my camera, I checked my iCloud, and deleted pictures to be sure I didn’t accidentally erase it and there was absolutely no evidence that it ever existed. If it hadn’t been for my friend seeing it also. I came out feeling very sick because of the energy from the dark shadow. It took me hours to feel better again. It wasn’t the children.

Yet another fantastic capture by one of our guests on a tour of the haunted underground of the South Bridge!

It is said that a woman lingers in this room beside the small fireplace. Many claim to have seen her in person, we rarely ever manage to get visual evidence! Due to the smell that accompanies her presence, she has become known as “Mingin Annie”.

We’ll be bringing auld “Mingin Annie” out for the Fringe festival this August for our fantastic children’s tour! Look out for updates! Perhaps this is Annie in rehearsals awaiting her chance to come out again and give you all a good scare!!! 👻 👻 👻

Looking for something to do with the lovely spring weather finally arriving? ☀️🌼🌳

How about a stroll through a graveyard with the mingin half hangit Maggie? 🪦 ☠️

Maggie Dickson has been known as one of the many ghosts in Edinburgh’s Old Town to linger to this day 👻For Maggie, ever since 2 September 1721 when she was hung! BUT… the hangin didn’t quite go to plan….🙀

On our tours, you’ll get a chance to hear her story among many other ghostly and horrifying tales of the “Auld Toon”. Not to mention a stroll through the DEAD SILENT Greyfriars Kirkyard, and a wander deep down into the South Bridge Underground vaults 🩸🧙‍♀️⚔️👻☠️😈

City of Edinburgh Tours

We offer a wide range of tours of Edinburgh’s Old Town and underground vaults, uncovering the fascinating history of Scotland’s capital city. Join us as we make our way down steep closes and twisting wynds to one of the most haunted cemeteries in the world, then delve deep into 18th century Edinburgh, now buried under the South Bridge. Your period-costumed guide will entertain, inform and spook you all at the same time, with stories of the city’s dark and often morbid past. Ghosts, witchcraft, serial killers...we have it all!

If ghosts are not your thing, join our Outlander and Jacobite or historical tours.
