Edinburgh Witches Tour
Edinburgh Witches Tour
At the indicated time, we'll meet at 1 Parliament Square and start this spooky tour of the Scottish capital. Prepare to delve into Edinburgh's shadowy past, from the ancient streets above to a mysterious underground vault.
We'll set off on our journey by walking through Edinburgh's Old Town, steeped in rich and enigmatic history. Led by a captivating character guide, this tour seamlessly blends historical facts with engaging storytelling for an unforgettable adventure.
As we walk, we'll discover the tales of Scotland's historical witches, as we explore their lives and the accusations that led to their untimely fates. We'll pay a respectful tribute to those wrongfully accused of witchcraft, shedding light on the grave injustices they endured. We might even uncover intriguing tidbits about beloved characters from "Outlander" and "Harry Potter" along the way!
Adding to the mystery, in the final 15 minutes of the tour, we'll visit "The Lost Close". This newly uncovered underground site has been shrouded in secrecy since the Great Fire of 1824. The ancient vault, dating back to 1742, provides a perfect backdrop for the remaining tales, offering a unique glimpse into the past and a fitting conclusion to this immersive historical journey.
Finally, after a total of 1 hour and 15 minutes, we'll bring the tour to an end at The Lost Close with a fresh perspective on Edinburgh's captivating and occasionally dark history.
