Blair Street Underground Vaults, Edinburgh
Mercat Tours - Haunted Halloween
Experience Edinburgh’s Old Town streets and the Blair Street Underground Vaults at their most haunted, if you dare. Delve into the murky depths of the city's most unsettling past and uncover the sinister side of Halloween.
When the veil between worlds is thin, the past refuses to rest.
Learn just what it means for the veil between realms to lift — on Samhuinn, or Halloween, the world of spirits tangles with ours. Will you embrace traditional Samhuinn protections, or will you brave it on your own?
Treason. Torture. Blood and gore. No story is off-limits — you will hear it all. And if the horrifying stories from Edinburgh’s ghastly past don’t chill your blood, your brush with the city’s ghostly present surely will. This Halloween ghost tour is not for the faint-hearted, taking you on a journey that's guaranteed to make your flesh crawl.
Deep in Edinburgh's haunted vaults
The tour starts in the heart of the Old Town, where your expert Storyteller will lead you through the narrow closes and wynds of the atmospheric Royal Mile. Then it’s down into the haunted Blair Street Underground Vaults for an unforgettable, spine-chilling, Halloween experience.
This is truly the city’s dark underbelly. A labyrinth of gloomy candle-lit chambers once home to the city’s thieves, and criminals — and now a place where their restless souls are said to reside.
