Your experience begins when you arrive at the meeting point; the infamous St Giles Cathedral. In the shadow of the tall, gothic building, you will encounter your witch host. They will lead you through the city, taking you through the meandering nooks and crannies and past the overbearing buildings. As you pace along behind them, your witch host will reveal a plethora of weird, wonderful, eerie and bizarre tales of real-life witches and their spooky spells in Edinburgh way back when. This tour is truly like no other, as you learn about the most niche and obscure folklore and legends, bound to cement your bond with the magical city.
The Edinburgh History of Witches Tour makes a great experience gift for families visiting or local to Edinburgh.
