Overview

Venture beneath Edinburgh’s streets and discover the city’s most haunted underground vaults — a chilling world of shadows and secrets, the Blair Street Underground Vaults, exclusively accessible with Mercat Tours. This immersive ghost tour offers a spine-tingling glimpse into true tales of Edinburgh’s dark past.

Abandon thoughts of manufactured frights and make-believe scares. In the Blair Street Underground Vaults, it’s the true history that haunts. The skill is in the enhanced storytelling. These vaults witnessed the deeds of mischief-makers and murderers, vagrants, and torturers. It’s said to be one of Edinburgh’s most haunted sites, where restless spirits still tread to this day.

Your cloaked Mercat Tours master storyteller will lead you through the shadowy closes of Edinburgh’s Old Town. These dark and dreary streets are untouched by daylight, filled with a strange silence – their damp walls carrying only the faintest echo of the crowds on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile.
