City Of The Dead Tours

Modern day Edinburgh is full of life, but it is a city where the dead outnumber the living and ghosts of the past refuse to lay at rest. Whether you’re an ardent believer in other realms or an outright sceptic, City of the Dead’s ghost tour promises to fire your imagination. As you traverse Edinburgh’s underground vaults and ancient graveyards, you’ll learn the city’s dark history – one that has given rise to talk of spectres and things that go bump in the night. One part history lesson, one part theatrical extravaganza, this ghost tour will set your imagination running wild. Named Britain’s Best Ghost Walk by Scare.com and crowned the best experience of its kind in Edinburgh by Lonely Planet, the tours are led by a mixture of historians and thespians whose ability to scare is as refined as their ability to weave a good yarn. Whether you choose to believe the myths and legends is your prerogative, but make no mistake – the characters referenced are part of the historical record. They lived and breathed their last in these streets and their misdeeds continue to resonate powerfully to this day. The Underground City of the Dead Ghost Tour explores the South Bridge Vaults, also known as Damnation Alley. If you’re expecting these gloomy tunnels to be possessed by malevolent forces, you’d be right – the amorphous South Bridge Entity will strike fear into the hearts of all who encounter it. Lest the prospect of trawling the vaults fills you with dread, there is an alternative option – the City of the Dead Haunted Graveyard Tour. Along the way, you’ll explore the city’s Covenanter Prison and the Black Mausoleum, where the Mackenzie Poltergeist is reputed to lurk. Alternatively, intrepid explorers can take The Double Dead Walk which promises the full shebang of ghosts, ghouls and graves, laced with enough horror to leave you sleeping with the lights on for a week.
