Looking for a gift with a difference? Treat someone to a spine-tingling journey through Edinburgh’s sinister past with the Vaults and Graveyard Tour, a thrilling walking experience that uncovers the city’s darker secrets.
Led by an expert guide, this tour begins in the historic Grassmarket before making its way to Greyfriars Graveyard, one of the most famous cemeteries in Scotland. As well as being home to the heart-warming tale of Greyfriars Bobby, it’s also the final resting place of some of Edinburgh’s most notorious figures. Expect chilling tales of body snatchers, hauntings and the grim realities of life in the 1600s, including the terrifying story of the Covenanters Prison.
But the real descent into darkness begins beneath the streets, as the tour takes you into the infamous Niddry Street underground vaults. Featured on Most Haunted Live, these 17th-century vaults are said to be the most haunted place in Scotland. Once a warren of slums and hideouts for witches, criminals and the city’s poorest souls, they remain steeped in eerie atmosphere. You’ll even step into a mysterious stone circle once used by a witches’ coven, where many report strange sensations and unexplained happenings.
Whether you’re gifting a friend who loves ghost stories, a family member fascinated by Scottish history, or a couple looking for a unique evening out in Edinburgh, this experience promises unforgettable memories, and maybe a shiver or two down the spine!
Give the gift of a ghostly adventure and discover why Edinburgh’s dark past still lingers in the shadows today.
