Mercat Tours - Haunted Underground
Discover who once lived in the murky depths of the Blair Street Underground Vaults. Encounter stories of Edinburgh’s murderers and vagrants and tales of the spirits that may still linger. Tread quietly…
The true history of the Blair Street Underground Vaults is terrifying enough – so abandon thoughts of manufactured frights and make-believe. The skill is in the storytelling: the vaults witnessed the deeds of mischief-makers and murderers, vagrants, and torturers. It’s one of Edinburgh’s most haunted sites, where restless spirits still tread.
Want to see Edinburgh’s haunted vaults? Explore them exclusively with Mercat Tours.
Your cloaked Mercat Tours master storyteller will lead you through the shadowy closes of Edinburgh’s Old Town. These dark and dreary streets are untouched by daylight, filled with a strange silence – their damp walls carrying only the faintest echo of the crowds on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile.
With the scene set, you’ll descend into the depths of the city – and listen in horror to the dark and sinister events which took place over the years. Torture. Murder. Hangings. From body snatchers to the city's real-life characters, you’ll be gripped by the true tales lurking beneath Edinburgh’s streets in the underground vaults, where centuries of sorrow echo and restless spirits are said to linger.
Perhaps you’ll experience a cold breath on the back of your neck, or a whisper – then silence. It’s all the more chilling for being absolutely real: there are no spooks, tricks or jump scares on our Edinburgh ghost tours.
This is no ordinary haunted tour — it’s an unforgettable descent into Edinburgh’s unsettling past.
