Ghosthunter Trail

GHOSTHUNTER TRAIL (1hr 30min): spirits and ghouls brought to life

• Explore the murky depths of Edinburgh’s horrific past
• Hear the anguished whispers of those doomed to walk the earth for evermore
• Watch the shadows dance in candlelit vaults
• Disappear into a necropolis where bones lie a-mouldering"

Edinburgh folk once gathered routinely at the Mercat Cross to enjoy gruesome and bloody entertainment. Mercat Tours continues this age-old tradition with this terrifying late-night stroll. Feast your ears on tales of the macabre told dramatically by your cloaked guide. Descend into haunted underground vaults. Walk through a deserted moonlit churchyard.

Why can voices be heard to this day in an empty guesthouse room? What gave off the foul stench that greeted the Duke at his Edinburgh home? What was the link between Major Weir and Satan? Why was a woman buried before her time? And who was the man they could not hang? For the answer to these and other mysteries surrounding Edinburgh's dastardly past the Ghost Hunter Trail is a must!
