City of Edinburgh Tours
Meeting point: Old Police Box, 124 High Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1QS
Explore Edinburgh overground and underground with City of Edinburgh Tours. After meeting at the Old Police Box on the Royal Mile (outside 124 High Street), your guide will take you on a tour of the city, sharing stories and secrets of the past. Choose between a range of ghost tours, historical tours and specialist tours.
The tour guides each play a real person from Edinburgh’s history. You might be led by Deacon Brodie, the 18th century locksmith by day, thief by night, who was the inspiration behind Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde. Or perhaps your guide will be Dr Robert Knox, the anatomy lecturer who purchased corpses from the notorious body snatchers and murderers Burke and Hare, to dissect and study.
