Overview

On this daytime ghost tour, you’ll hear of villains and victims from the city's dark past. There will be stories of those who haunt our shadowed streets — criminals, murderers and unsuspecting innocents — all whilst travelling to the very places they lived… and for some, met their untimely end.

Starting at the Mercat Cross, a place with mixed history of horror and entertainment, you’ll hear tales of the restless souls set loose in the city, all whilst remaining above ground in Edinburgh’s Old Town. If you listen closely, you might even hear footsteps creeping up behind you or echoes of a horse-drawn carriage fleeing the winding streets.

The Royal Mile may be picturesque, but there is more to its streets than meets the eye. Led by a master, cloaked Storyteller you’ll explore the difficult and grim lives of those living amongst the cobbled closes.

Be immersed in this dark history as we reveal the sounds and stories of Edinburgh’s past.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
