Edinburgh Witches and Haunted History Walking Tour

Hear stories of Scotland's accused witches on an Old Town walk led by a costumed character guide. The route uses closes, streets and views of familiar landmarks to set the history in context, including accounts of trials and injustice. Storytelling is central to the experience, with the city itself providing the setting.

Which Edinburgh Witches and Haunted History Walking Tour ticket should I choose?

The guided walk is listed as suitable for ages eight and over. Entry tickets to sights are excluded, so this is an outdoor storytelling tour rather than a vaults or castle admission package. Consider the dark historical themes when deciding whether the tour suits younger members of your group.
