Overview
Explore the dark side of Edinburgh with the private audio tour available on Wegotrip App (included).
Welcome to Edinburgh, a beautiful modern city with a horrid and brutal past. The Edinburgh Horror walk will take you around the old town of Edinburgh to explore the twisting closes and streets that have played host to some of the most brutal parts of our past.
This walk takes you from the Royal Mile to the Grassmarket and down through Greyfriars Cemetery. There are steps involved so be careful as you make your way through the old town.
This is not a ghost tour as such, but more a dark history tour. However, that doesn't mean you aren't in for a fright.
