Absorb the damning history of those who suffered torture, murder, and hangings, and the deathly echo they left behind…Learn about restless spirits of mischief-makers and murderers, vagrants, body snatchers and torturers! Can you feel a ‘cold breath’ on your neck? Keep an eye out for those lights, they keep flickering for some reason...Creeped out yet? Once you descend deep into the city whether that be the daytime or evening, you will be immersed in the rich cultural history of crime and bewitched by the art of Scottish Storytelling. Mercat offers exclusive audio devices (but you must bring your own earphones) to follow around the tour to ignite your imaginations and bring your dark surroundings to life! This tour is recommended to ages 5+ due to scary themes and topics. So, are you brave enough to uncover the dark hidden secrets in vaults and the narrow streets of Edinburgh?
