Mercat Tours - Haunted Halloween

Delve into the murky depths of Edinburgh’s most unsettling past. Strictly adults-only.

This Halloween ghost tour is not for the faint-hearted, taking you on a strictly adults-only journey through Edinburgh's ghoulish underworld that's guaranteed to make your flesh crawl.

Treason. Torture. Blood and gore. No story is off-limits – you will hear it all. And if the horrifying stories from Edinburgh’s ghastly past don’t chill your blood, your brush with the city’s ghostly present surely will.

The tour starts after dark in the heart of the Old Town, where your expert guide – in an authentic Halloween costume – will lead you through the narrow closes and wynds of the atmospheric Royal Mile. Then it’s down into the haunted Blair Street Underground Vaults for an unforgettable, spine-chilling, Halloween experience. This is truly the city’s dark underbelly. A labyrinth of gloomy candle-lit tunnels and chambers once home to the city’s thieves, and criminals – and now a place where their restless souls are said to reside.
