EDINBURGH DAY TOURS

 

GALLOWS TO GRAVEYARD
The Old Town has seen a long history of TORTURE, EXECUTION and DEATH, and this tour dramatically brings the past alive with gruesome, ghastly and grisly tales. Witches, warlocks, traitors, thieves and murderers have come to a bloody end on the Royal Mile. Who were they and what had they done to deserve their vile demise? Your cloaked guide will have the answers and will take you on a tour of discovery down the Royal Mile telling stories of dark deeds and horrific crimes.
  • Where was the Poisonous Husband hanged?
  • Who committed such a heinous crime punishable by drowning in a coffin?
  • What Maiden’s Kiss could cause the death of over 150 unfortunate souls?

Our guides are expert historians trained in the art of storytelling, and they will lead you on a tour that is not for the faint of heart.

TOUR GUIDE COMMENTS
I love giving visitors the ‘big picture’ about Old Edinburgh. The Royal Mile is a treasure trove and I am just passionate about sharing its history with visitors (and residents) alike.

VISITOR COMMENTS
I loved learning about things right in front of you that you would miss otherwise. The guide was really enthusiastic which made the tour so interesting.
