Plan your Edinburgh experience

Edinburgh’s Old Town, New Town and hillside views offer different experiences within a compact centre. Build a route that accounts for slopes and steps rather than assuming every short walk is an easy one.

Historic-site visits, guided walks and excursions into the wider region suit different schedules. Compare the tour focus, language and transport, and distinguish a city outing from a full-day departure.

Read the meeting point carefully where streets have different levels. For outdoor visits or longer excursions, follow the operator’s clothing guidance and leave time before another reservation.

About this experience and booking advice

The Outlander Tour with Doune Castle Entry is a full-day guided landmark tour departing Edinburgh, visiting three filming locations used in the television adaptation of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. The tour leaves from 60 High Street at 8.45 and runs for approximately nine hours, covering sites across central Scotland with a local Scottish guide throughout. Among the Edinburgh attractions and day trips available from the city, this is one of the few that combines structured access to private and historic sites with included castle entry. The first stop is Midhope Castle in West Lothian, used as the exterior of Lallybroch, the Fraser family home. From there, the tour continues to Doune Castle in Stirlingshire, a 14th-century fortress that served as Castle Leoch in Outlander and also appeared in Monty Python and the Holy Grail and early seasons of Game of Thrones. Entry to Doune Castle is included, giving visitors time to explore the great hall, kitchen tower, and courtyard. The final stop is Culross in the Kingdom of Fife, a preserved 17th and 18th-century burgh used as the village of Cranesmuir, where the character Claire is accused of witchcraft. Lunch time is built into the Culross stop. Tickets cover the guided tour, Doune Castle entry, and transport between all three locations. The tour is not suitable for wheelchair users.

60-minute guided ghost tour of Edinburgh's South Bridge Vaults, with the stone circle and witchcraft temple. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

City of Edinburgh Tours

Listed duration: 60 minutes

About this experience and booking advice

Book Edinburgh Underground Ghost Tour tickets Book tickets for a 60-minute guided ghost tour beneath Edinburgh's Old Town and step into the South Bridge Vaults, the underground chambers built into the arches of South Bridge in the 18th century. Your guide meets you on the Royal Mile, leads you down into the dark and tells the stories of the merchants, criminals, body snatchers and suspected witches linked to these spaces. It is one of the most atmospheric ways to see the haunted side of the city. Your mobile voucher arrives by email, and you can cancel for free up to 24 hours before your tour starts. What you'll see on the South Bridge Vaults ghost tour The South Bridge was finished in the late 1700s, and the chambers inside its arches were first used as storage and workshops by the traders on the bridge above. As damp crept in, the businesses moved out and the underground rooms became slums, taverns and hiding places for people who did not want to be found. Today they are some of the most talked-about haunted spaces in Scotland. The South Bridge Vaults: walk through the underground chambers and hear how they changed from merchant storage into slums and criminal hideouts. The stone circle: stand inside the mysterious stone circle hidden in the chambers and hear the lesser-known folklore connected to it. The witchcraft temple: enter a room once used by a modern coven, the Source Coven of the Blue Dragon, and find out why they stopped using it. Dark tales of the Old Town: stories of crime, body snatching and witchcraft, told by candlelight and torchlight. What's included in your ticket 60-minute guided tour of the South Bridge Vaults Access to the stone circle inside the vaults Visit to the witchcraft temple Live English-speaking guide and stories of the vaults' past inhabitants Private tours are not included and are available at an extra cost. Meeting point, timings and how entry works The tour starts at 300 Lawnmarket, Edinburgh EH1 2PH, at the top of the Royal Mile near the castle, and finishes at 45 Niddry Street, Edinburgh EH1 1LG, just off the Royal Mile. Arrive 5 to 10 minutes early, because tours leave on time. Show the voucher on your phone together with a valid photo ID at the starting point, and check your final voucher for any specific instructions. Accessibility, age and good to know The tour is not accessible for wheelchairs or strollers, and the walking pace and uneven ground may not suit people with mobility difficulties. The entrance and exit of the vaults have a step of about 2 feet (60 cm), followed by a single-floor spiral staircase and more short flights of stairs inside. The chambers are lit mainly by candles, emergency lighting and the guide's torch, which may be difficult for people with vision impairments. The tour is not recommended for children under 5, and children up to 15 must be with an adult. Alcohol is not allowed and anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be refused entry. Filming and live-streaming are not allowed. Tours run in all weather, so dress for the conditions and bring a warm layer. Make a night of it in the Old Town: pair this tour with The Real Mary King's Close, a hidden street under the Royal Mile, or keep the ghost stories going on an Edinburgh Old Town night ghost walking tour. For daytime history, book an Edinburgh Castle guided tour with fast-track entry.
