Edinburgh Walking Tours Experience Days: Introducing "Edinburgh - Dark History," an enthralling expedition into the concealed depths of the "Jekyll & Hyde City." While basking in the daylight, Edinburgh showcases architectural splendour and a profound historical legacy. However, as twilight descends, it unveils a grim and eerie history that is bound to send shivers down your spine.
Embark on a chilling odyssey through the obscured annals of Edinburgh's past, where malevolent murderers, cunning thieves, macabre cannibals, gruesome hangings, harrowing decapitations, sinister witches, the relentless Plague, and even the bleak realities of human waste converge to weave a fabric of darkness. Uncover the notorious inhabitants who once traversed these eerie thoroughfares and peel back the layers of bone-chilling ghostly legends.
This is no ordinary ghost tour replete with theatrical costumes and rehearsed jump scares. In "Edinburgh - Dark History" the city itself assumes the role of the storyteller, crafting a narrative so haunting that you'll feel your skin tingle with each startling revelation. Brace yourself for an enthralling journey as you're guided through the concealed truths that lurk beneath Edinburgh's facade of respectability, sharing its most unsettling secrets with our inquisitive guests.

Edinburgh - Dark History
Ah, Edinburgh! They don't call it "The Jekyll & Hyde City" for nothing. During the day, a respectable figure, with its astonishing architecture and wondrous history. But when the sun sets, it tells an entirely different story.
Hear all about the darker history of Edinburgh: murderers, thieves, cannibals, hangings and decapitations, witches, the Plague and streams of human waste. Learn about the most notorious citizens of Edinburgh and how ghost stories are born.
This is not a ghost tour: we don't need costumes or people jumping from behind the corners, Edinburgh's Dark History itself is enough to make your skin crawl. And oh, how we love to share it with our visitors.
