Highlights

The witching hour has come — it’s time for a reckoning.


Edinburgh’s Master Storytellers, Mercat Tours, are redefining the walking tour, promising to enrich and deepen your connection with Edinburgh’s people and its past far beyond your visit.


Take the Story Home: evoke the memories:
- Listen to the tour playlist
- Light your Remembrance Candle


Accused, tried, and tortured. Step into Scotland’s shadowy past on this immersive five-star Edinburgh history tour. Follow in the final tragic footsteps of those condemned as ‘witches’ and bear witness to the devastating truth.


History and Hysteria: Their Trials and Truth Told
There was no justice in court, nor truth in tribunals for accused ‘witches’. On this tour, our award-winning master Storytellers shine a light on the truth behind the trials and the real reasons behind the witch crazes that swept like a plague for centuries, across Scotland and beyond.


The past is calling. Will you bear witness?

Itinerary

  • 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.

  • St Giles' Cathedral

    15 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Hear stories about the persecution of the weak, the wise and skilled, inflamed by religious zeal.

  • Witches well

    15 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    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.
