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:
- Smell the leather and smoke
- Listen to the tour playlist

Stories of blood, guts & gore in the Old Town of Edinburgh, then a whisky or soft drink in a candlelit cellar to warm the heart.

Listen to grisly tales of witchcraft, torture and restless spirits as you venture down medieval closes and descend into the haunted Blair Street Underground Vaults of Edinburgh on this ghost tour. Hear the distant clatter of workmen and whispers of criminals as you’re immersed in the atmosphere of the past.

As night thickens, we’ll gather together in Megget’s Cellar for a whisky — or locally-made beer or soft drink. Your Storyteller will conjure more tales of Edinburgh’s ghoulish past, and the tortured souls that stalk the city’s streets.
