High Street: Self-Guided Audio Tours

Welcome to Edinburgh, a beautiful modern city with a horrid and brutal past! This self-guided horror walk on your smartphone will take you around the old town of Edinburgh to explore the twisting closes and streets that have played host to some of the most brutal parts of the city's past. This audio walk takes you from the Royal Mile where you will learn why it was once considered as "the world's end". As you walk down to the Grassmarket the audio commentary will reveal the story of Thomas Weir, infamously known as the Wizard of Westbow. The market itself was not only for shopping but for merciless punishment that will send shivers down your spine. Finally, you will walk through Greyfriars Cemetery where you will hear stories about grave robbing, body snatching, and mysterious killings. There are steps involved so be careful as you make your way through the old town. This is not a ghost tour as such, but more a dark history tour. However, that doesn't mean you aren't in for a fright!
