Small Group Edinburgh Underground Vaults & Graveyard Ghost Tour
Overview
Edinburgh’s Master Storytellers, Mercat Tours, are redefining the walking tour, promising to enrich and deepen your connection with Edinburgh’s people and its past far beyond your visit.
Take the Story Home: evoke the memories:
- Smell the leather and smoke
- Listen to the tour playlist
Experience the eerie and frightening atmosphere of the haunted Blair Street Underground Vaults. Beware, though, for maybe those whispers you hear aren't just in your head...
It might be something to do with the change in temperature. Or the perpetual darkness. Or the ever smaller rooms, stretching beyond the weak beam of a torch or flicker of candlelight. Whatever the reason, there’s something unsettling about the Blair Street Underground Vaults.
From there, it’s on to the spooky Canongate graveyard, where the spirits of the dead await.
Join a journey into Edinburgh's past, engaging all the senses to create a truly memorable experience that lasts long after your visit.
