Enjoy a fascinating journey through Edinburgh’s historic Old Town starting with a short guided walk along the Royal Mile and surrounding side streets. Your guide will set the scene and share stories of what life was like in the city hundreds of years ago, offering a vivid glimpse into the past. As you stroll through these cobbled streets, you will learn about Edinburgh’s rich history, notable figures, and the events that shaped the city. The walk provides an engaging introduction to the darker and more intriguing aspects of Edinburgh, preparing you for the unique experiences that follow.
After the walk, visit the medieval torture exhibition to see authentic instruments from the Nuremberg and Bamberg Castles in Germany. These grim devices date back to the late 1500s and early 1600s and are similar to those used in Edinburgh’s own gory past. Following the exhibition, your guide will lead you into the paranormally active underground vaults, some of the most extensive in Edinburgh’s Old Town. Dating back to the 1700s, these vaults are renowned for their haunted history and chilling atmosphere. This spine tingling tour combines history mystery and a touch of fright, offering a unique and unforgettable way to explore Edinburgh’s darkest corners.
