Ghost and Gore Walking Tour of Edinburgh

Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Mr Clapperton takes a light-hearted look at Edinburgh's dark past, telling tales of tortures, punishments, witchcraft and invasion as he leads you through the Old Town's atmospheric closes and courtyards. En route, there will be a demonstration of several authentic torture devices, and ghostly encounters in the form of the notorious Mad Monk of the Cowgate, Agnes Fynnie the terrifying witch, the regal Blue Gowned Beggar, the ghastly Foule Clenger (plague collector) and the fearsome Highlander.

Beware! This walking tour takes place in the cobbled streets of Edinburgh in all seasons. In the interests of safety please dress appropriately and wear sensible shoes. You come on this tour at your own risk and it is not for the faint hearted.

USD $13.56

The tour was a great experience and the guides were fabulous! Only problem was that my bookings had been mixed-up so we were not on any lists. Although the mixed up bookings the guides solved the issue and we got to join the tour. Many thanks! I recommend this tour to all who are going to Edinburgh and if i ever go there again i will definitely go on these tours for a second time!

This was an excellent walking tour! The narrators were great, we learned quite a bit a bit about Edinburgh history, and the performance by the guides was awesome! However hard we tried to be prepared, they always managed to catch us by surprise! We highly recommend this tour.

A really interesting and fun tour - probably much more 'atmospheric' if done later in the evening or when the nights are darker! Actors were fun and lead tour guide very knowledgeable.
