The Cadies & Witchery Tours
The Cadies & Witchery Tours take a light-hearted look at Edinburgh’s darker side including tales of witchcraft, plague and torture. Your ghostly guide will blend history with humour and facts with fables, while “jumper-ooters” provide guaranteed ghostly appearances.
Join infamous highwayman Adam Lyal (deceased) for the Murder & Mystery Tour, available just after nightfall every night of the year (except 24-26 December). Mr Lyal’s tales of Old Edinburgh, painstakingly researched from court and council records, are sure to be hair-raising and rib-tickling in equal measure. But don’t relax too much… round almost every corner lurk fearsome phantoms, waiting to terrify helpless tour-groups!
In summer (mid-April to early September), you don’t need to wait for darkness to fall, as 19th-century cemetery director Alexander Clapperton presents our Ghosts & Gore Tour every evening. Mr Clapperton is an expert on Edinburgh’s grisly past, but still keeps tongue firmly in cheek. On this tour it isn’t just the guide telling tales: the ghostly “jumper-ooters” are back, and when not terrorising, will regale you with their own humorous and sometimes tragic stories.
Tours cost £7.50 per adult, £5.00 per child. Booking in advance is essential.
