Edinburgh Comedic Ghost and Graveyard Tour

Fun filled comedic walking tour with an award winning tour guide, Paul from Edinburgh. We will visit at least two graveyards to hear spooky and unbelievable stories from years gone by. We will visit a Cathedral that isn't even a Cathedral! We will see the only spot in Edinburgh where it is socially accepted to spit upon! Sites of public executions, the resting place of Scotland's most miserable man! We will see his old house which is one of the oldest buildings in Edinburgh and find out the connection between Edinburgh and Scrooge and Edinburgh Castle and The Wizard of Oz!
You will be shocked at how much useless information you will learn on this tour. I will give you a unique aspect of life on the streets of Edinburgh from medieval times right through to the present day. Not for the easily offended. I'm not scared of a little controversy, from tackling, through to Independence, dodgy politicians and dodgy Parliaments, headless Queens to drug dealing Queens and much more.
