Kids Multi-Sensory Underground Vaults Tour in Edinburgh
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
- Touch original artefacts
- Listen to the tour playlist
A daytime ghost tour for kids full of tales of stinking streets, terrible tortures and ghostly goings-on.
Listen to the distant clatter of a horse-drawn carriage as you explore a city built on body snatching and torture.
Learn the meaning of gardyloo and hope you never hear it, grimace at the tales of Scottish witches and find out what treasure could be found buried in a 19th century graveyard. You’ll even hear what school children, like you, once packed in their school bags.
You’ll finish your tour in our exclusive Blair Street Underground Vaults, once frequented by some of Edinburgh’s less-appealing characters.
