Overview

A daytime ghost tour for kids full of tales of stinking streets, terrible tortures and ghostly goings-on.

Listen to the distant clatter of a horse-drawn carriage as you explore a city built on witch trials, body snatching and a gruesome past of torture. Your master Storyteller will take you to the places where history lives.

To start, you’ll visit the winding closes of Edinburgh’s Old Town. Learn the meaning of gardyloo and hope you never hear it, grimace at the tales of Scottish witches and find out what treasure could be found buried in a 19th century graveyard (clue: it’s not gold and shiny). You’ll even hear what school children, like you, once packed in their school bags on one eventful day.

A time when living in overcrowded closes proved as frightful as the ghoulish apparitions.

Hear what jobs were available for younger members of society and get a glimpse at what a family ‘home’ might look like.

  • Small-group experience
  • Exclusive access to Blair Street Underground Vaults
  • Enhanced with hand-picked sounds of Edinburgh and delivered through TourTalk audio devices
