Edinburgh: Underground Vaults Tour – Edinburgh, United Kingdom

EXPERIENCE

Experience a guided walking tour that takes you beneath the streets of Edinburgh’s Old Town into a dimly lit space that many considered to be haunted. Your tour visits the vaults of the South Bridge that date back to the 1700s.
These are the same vaults mentioned on Most Haunted Live as one of the scariest places on Earth. Learn how the vaults have been used over the years, the living conditions endured by the poor and homeless residents, and the spirits that are supposed to haunt them.
The darker side of Edinburgh’s history will unfold as you wander through the candle-lit underground area. From your guide, you’ll hear about the Burke and Hare murders and the persecution of witches.
Discover the characters who stalked the streets of Edinburgh, and the paranormal stories associated with the vaults. The Haunted Vaults tour option will cover slightly more paranormal and ghost stories. Step into the torture exhibition and explore how and why these items were used.
