Free Tour mysteries, ghosts and witch burnings of Edinburgh

Learn about the alleys where Edinburgh residents lived in the 17th century, but, above all, how they died during the Black Death, and how doctors tried to cure it with bird masks.

We tell you the mysteries of the South Bridge , where whiskey was distilled illegally, but above all, corpses were hidden . We will talk about corpses, but about the black market in corpses of the 19th century and the serial killers William Burke and William Hare. We will visit Old Calton Cemetery .

We will go up to Calton Hill , where we will talk about something that we are passionate about: the burning of witches and warlocks , and we will see if any of those who take this tour would have ended up in those bonfires. In Calton Hill, we also have the observatory, the Nelson monument and the national monument of Scotland , they are a symbol of the city, but here they are called the shames of Edinburgh.

We will walk through a passage, Jacob's ladders, which were used as a secret passage during the black market for corpses.
