Hear spirits echo through old city streets. Entirely above ground, accessible to all.

· This tour is tailored for guests with mobility and sensory needs. 

· Ghostly Tales of Edinburgh's Royal Mile runs regularly throughout the year at 6pm.

Imagine the spot where the gallows once stood; a stage in the midst of a baying crowd. A rope slipped over a bagged head, cinched tight. The air falls quiet. A lever creaks, the trapdoor clatters, the rope snaps taut…

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.
