Haunted Vaults Tour

About this experience

The Haunted Vaults Tour takes visitors beneath the streets of Edinburgh's Old Town, into a network of sealed underground chambers that date back to the late 18th century. The vaults were built into the arches of the South Bridge, completed in 1788, and were used for storage, workshops, and housing before being sealed and forgotten for nearly two centuries. The tour moves through the stone chambers on foot, with a guide covering the history of the people who lived and worked in the vaults and the folklore attached to the site. Tickets cover a timed group tour of roughly one hour. For more options across the city, see things to do in Edinburgh.
