By day Edinburgh is a bustling metropolis, but at night the old buildings and narrow closes take on a more sinister air. A long history of murder, torture, hangings and plague has left a haunting legacy on the city's Old Town and ghostly apparitions now walk its streets.
We will start from Mercat Cross, High Street. Then enter the underground vaults whose walls, it is said, have absorbed the memories of those who once lived and worked there. This part of the tour is not for the faint-hearted. At the end of the tour we will get on the Blair St Interpretation Centre, off Hunters Square – Walk only Megget’s Cellar, Blair St.
