Meeting point

High Street, EH1 1RF, Edinburgh

Your tour starts at the Mercat Cross, a large, octagonal monument on the Royal Mile, located downhill from St Giles Cathedral and directly opposite the City Chambers, with the postcode EH1 1RF. Please try to be at the meeting point of the Mercat Cross at least 15 minutes before your tour is scheduled to begin.

Step into a hauntingly picturesque tale of bygone days.

Visualize an era where gallows were erected in the heart of the city, surrounded by a sea of onlookers. A hooded figure stands helpless, the noose tightened around their neck. Silence descends. The groan of a lever, the clatter of a trapdoor, the rope pulled taut...

This daytime ghost tour immerses you in chilling accounts of the city's sinister history. Tales of the specters that lurk in the city's shadows — hardened criminals, cold-blooded murderers, and their unsuspecting victims — will be spun as you explore the very sites they once roamed... and for some, where they tragically departed.

The journey begins at the Mercat Cross, a locale with a past tainted by both terror and revelry. Listen to the spine-tingling stories of the restless spirits that roam free in the city, while remaining safely above ground in Edinburgh’s Old Town.
