Discover the secrets of Edinburgh’s past on a walking tour with The Caddies & Witchery Tours. Step back in time as your spooky guide leads you through the cobbled streets, sharing tales of ghosts and ghouls. There are two tours to choose from; the “Ghosts and Gore Tour” and the “Greyfriars Cemetery Tour”. You can also visit their creepy lair on Victoria Street, which has a shop and a small museum about the notorious William Burke (of Burke and Hare).
On your tour, you’ll be led around the Old Town by a spooky tour guide who will regale you with stories of Edinburgh’s dark past. Other costumed characters may jump out when you least expect it, so keep your wits about you! Tours are light-hearted and open to all ages, but do cover topics such as witchcraft, murder, grave-robbing, torture and plague. Please check the website for tour times, prices, meeting points and booking information.
