Step into Scotland's rich and mysterious past on this captivating walking tour through Edinburgh's Old Town. Led by an engaging character guide, this experience blends history and storytelling for an unforgettable adventure.
Uncover the stories of Scotland’s accused witches, exploring their lives and the accusations they faced, and the injustices they endured, all while surrounded by the city's eerie charm. You may even learn some facts about much-loved characters from Outlander and Harry Potter!
Adding to the intrigue, the final 15 minutes of the tour will involve an exclusive visit to “The Lost Close” — this recently discovered underground site has been cloaked in mystery since the Great Fire of 1824.

4.00There are about 9 stops on this tour which barely leaves the mile. Most of the tour is at parliament square and round St Giles. Side of St Giles, Back of St Giles, Vault at Barrie’s close. You only really leave the mile twice for two side streets and she never told the story of the major even though we were outside his house at the Quaker house. Juniper is a wonderful, warm and engagingly theatrical host. She certainly got a lot of attention from the busy crowds. I was a little disappointed with the price and while the vault was cool to see, it’s an offshoot of an underground pub and not really at all like the vaults which I had been to the day before. Also it didn’t really relate so much to the witch trials. However I was delighted that she didn’t shy away from the more gory elements of how women were tortured for no reason, other than fear and superstition. I think that’s important. I got the feeling she really cared about the women who’s stories she was telling. I enjoyed this tour, (but it was a little overpriced).
Fun, funny and a call to justice

5.00We loved loved loved Juniper. It was an amazing chance to learn about the lesser talked about history of Edinburgh and learn how to support long awaited justice for vulnerable populations who were unduly persecuted. Make sure you have your walking shoes!
Entertaining and Lively!
