Haunted Drams – Ghost & Whisky Experience (Times TBC)

Please check organiser for times. Step into the shadows of Edinburgh’s dark past on this walking tour through the Old Town’s most haunted closes and forgotten corners. Your journey begins above ground during a 45 minutes ghost walking tour. Uncover chilling tales of witches and executions, discover how to identify a witch, and learn what fate awaited those accused in the 16 th century. Hear of the condemned who met their end near St Giles’ Cathedral – including Robert Johnson, who endured the longest recorded hanging in history – and the notorious Burke and Hare, whose crimes still echo through the centuries. Then, descend beneath the city streets into The Lost Close, a hidden underground space steeped in history. Here, you’ll savour two drams of premium Scotch whisky as you delve deeper into Edinburgh’s dark past. This tour is open to those aged 18+years. It is not wheelchair accessible, nor is it recommended for anyone who is pregnant or has a heart condition. Tours run on selected dates between 09 and 31 October 2026.
