Step into Scotland's rich and mysterious past on this captivating walking tour through Edinburgh's Old Town. Led by an engaging character guide, this experience blends history and storytelling for an unforgettable adventure.

Uncover the stories of Scotland's real-life witches, exploring their lives and the accusations they faced. This tour pays respectful homage to those wrongly accused of witchcraft, shedding light on the great injustices they suffered. You may even learn some facts about much-loved characters from Outlander and Harry Potter!

Adding to the intrigue, the final 15 minutes of the tour will involve an exclusive visit to “The Lost Close” - this recently discovered underground site has been cloaked in mystery since the Great Fire of 1824. The ancient vault where you will enjoy the remaining tales of the tour date back to 1742, offering a window into the past, and providing a fitting end to an immersive exploration of history and enchantment.

Don't miss The Edinburgh Witches and Underground Vaults - Old Town Walking Tour, an opportunity to delve into the city's fascinating past, honour those who suffered, and embrace the magic of discovery.
