The Witchery Tours

Frommer's Review

Edinburgh's history is filled with tales of ghosts, gore, and witchcraft, and this tour is enlivened by characters who leap out of seemingly nowhere when you least expect it. Two tours -- the 1 1/2 hour "Ghost & Gore" and the 1 1/4 hour "Murder & Mystery" -- overlap in parts. Scenes of horrific torture, murder, and supernatural occurrence in the Old Town are visited, under the cloak of darkness. The ghost tour (May-Aug) departs nightly at 7pm and 7:30pm, with the murder tour (year-round) leaving at 9pm and 9:30pm, all from the outside of the Witchery Restaurant on Castlehill.
