Edinburgh’s Doomed, Dead and Buried Ghost Tour

Maybe it’s something to do with temperature change. Or the everlasting obscurity. Or the smaller and smaller rooms that stretch beyond a torch’s weak beam. Whatever the reason, the Blair Street Underground Vaults are unsettling. The troubling tales on this evening walking tour will be revealed by your expert guide.

Walking along dim streets to the Canongate Graveyard will take you to the resting place of the most famous figures in the city: Adam Smith, the father of economics; David Rizzio, the lover of Mary Queen of Scots; and James Douglas, 3rd Marquess of Queensberry, the infamous Canongate cannibal.
