Edinburgh Old Town Tour Reveals Dark History of Witchcraft and Hidden Vaults


Visitors are invited to explore the shadowy past of Edinburgh on an immersive walking tour through the historic Old Town, where storytelling and history blend to reveal the city’s darker heritage. Guided by a captivating character, guests are taken on a journey that brings Scotland’s complex and mysterious past vividly to life.


The experience moves from the bustling streets above ground into the eerie underground vaults beneath the city, offering a glimpse into centuries of hidden history. Along the way, the tour explores the lives of those accused of witchcraft, highlighting the injustices they suffered and the fear that once gripped the city.


Fascinating historical insights are interwoven with references to cultural favourites such as Outlander and Harry Potter, adding an engaging modern connection to Edinburgh’s ancient streets. The storytelling approach creates an atmospheric experience that combines education, emotion, and intrigue.


A highlight of the tour is an exclusive visit to “The Lost Close,” a recently uncovered underground site sealed since the Great Fire of 1824. Featuring vaults dating back to 1742, this haunting location provides a powerful finale, offering visitors a rare and authentic encounter with Edinburgh’s hidden history while paying respectful tribute to those affected by its past.
