About The Original Spooky Magic Tour

Listed Under Halloween Events / Tour Events / Nights Out Events / Outdoor Events

Edinburgh has a long history of ghosts, witchcraft, occult magic, and stage sorcery. This tour combines all three as we take you through the closes and wynds over Hallowe’en weekend to discover what we used to do to witches in the city, the vile Wizard of the Westbow, where Castle Dracula used to stand, the people who talked to ghosts, the magician’s dead double, and more. The tour also features live magic performances from a local Bizarrist magician and Mind Reader in the city’s first walking tour to include live spooky magic as standard.

Ends at The Most Haunted Pub in Scotland, where you'll be able to show your tour reciept to receive members' discount on drinks!receipt
