About this tour
Step off the cobbled Royal Mile and into the shadows of Scotland's most haunted city. Behind Edinburgh's grand historic facade lies a darker history etched into narrow alleyways, hidden subterranean closes, and eerie graveyards. On this immersive audio walking tour, you won't just learn history — you'll feel it. This audio tour leads you through the cobblestone streets where plagues, executions, and sinister bodysnatchers left an indelible mark. Listen for the phantom melodies of the Lone Piper beneath Edinburgh Castle, tread carefully through Greyfriars Kirkyard, and discover the terrifying tales behind the city's sealed underground vaults.
