Edinburgh’s Old Town is a labyrinth of narrow alleys, weathered stone buildings, and steep closes where centuries of history linger in every shadow. At the heart of Scotland’s capital, Hi Amy! offers a private ghost tour that reveals a darker layer beneath the city’s historic charm. This isn’t your typical walking tour—it’s a deep dive into Edinburgh’s most haunted sites, true paranormal encounters, and chilling tales spun from the city’s grim past.
Starting at the imposing St Giles’ Cathedral, the tour winds through cobbled streets once home to grave robberies, plague victims, and whispers of restless spirits. The guide, fluent in French and driven by passion, uses ghost-hunting equipment to enhance the spine-tingling experience, sharing recent reports of supernatural activity in locations famed for their eerie atmospheres. Visitors receive a detailed map peppered with insider tips and local spots to recover from the thrills with traditional Scottish treats.
