Evening of Ghosts & Ghouls Tour
Visitors journey through the medieval closes and wynds of Edinburgh's Old Town before descending into the dimly lit Blair Street Underground Vaults. A cloaked Master Storyteller shares grim tales of dark history, witchcraft, torture, and restless spirits, delivered through TourTalk audio devices with atmospheric soundscapes. The tour finishes in the warmth of candlelit Megget's Cellar with storytelling and a dram of Scotch whisky, craft beer, or a soft drink.
