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
Maidens 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.

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.
