Watch out on the cobbles as you lend your ears to terrible tales of the Witches of Scotland. Tread lightly as you walk on the very ground these mysterious and sometimes sinister events occurred.
This is an outdoor walking tour visiting famous locations and hidden gems such as Castlehill, Edinburgh Castle, Lady Stairs Close, The Writers Museum, St Giles Cathedral, Parliament Sq, Victoria Street, Grassmarket, Candle Maker Row, Greyfriars Kirkyard, and a myriad of narrow closes and crooked streets along the way.
