Free Tour Edinburgh Mysteries, Ghosts & Witch Burning

Mysteries of the South Bridge, where whiskey was illegally distilled, but above all, corpses were hidden. Of corpses, we will speak, but of the black market of corpses of the XIX century and serial killers, William Burke and William Hare. We will visit the Old Calton Cemetery and Canongate.

We will climb the hill of Calton Hill, where I will tell you about something that I am passionate about, the burning of witches and warlocks, and we will see if any of those who do this tour would have ended up in those bonfires. In Calton Hill, we also have the observatory, the Nelson monument, and the National Monument of Scotland; they are symbols of the city, but here they are called the three shames of Edinburgh.

We'll walk through a passage, Jacob's ladder, which was used as a secret passage during the black market for corpses.

All this mystery and mysticism that surrounds Edinburgh for decades attracts hundreds of tourists to the city, wanting to know what happened in these centuries. Are you going to miss it?

Groups over 6 people, even if booking separately, will need to pay the guide 12 pounds per person (5 pounds per child from 6 to 11 years old) at the start of the tour.
