1. Royal Mile
You’re invited to listen carefully and perhaps think again... You’ll be transported back to a dark time ruled by a crazed king and his obsession with the dark arts, ‘otherworldly phenomenon’. Join us to walk the cobbled paths of Edinburgh’s Old Town and its centuries-old closes.
Duration: 60 mins
2. St Giles' Cathedral
Hear stories about the persecution of the weak, the wise and skilled, inflamed by religious zeal.
Duration: 15 mins
3. Witches well
Our tour ends at the location where Scotland’s witches were once executed, and are now remembered. The Witches' Well is a monument to accused witches burned at the stake in Edinburgh, and is the only one of its kind in the city.
