Things to do in Edinburgh, Scotland: The Best Bar, Club & Pub Tours

December 17, 2021 Roseanne Arnett

Edinburgh is Scotland’s capital city, renowned for its heritage, culture and festivals. Take a long walk around the centre to explore the World Heritage Sites of the Old Town and New Town, as well as all the area’s museums and galleries. Then stop for a delicious meal made from fresh Scottish produce before heading out to take in one of Edinburgh’s many events — including the famous summer festivals of culture, or the Winter Festivals of music, light and ceilidhs.

Haunted Tavern Tour

Edinburgh is a gorgeous city full of creepy alleyways and closes, rich history and unexplained entities. We brave four of the most terrifying taverns in the City where you’ll hear chilling tales of the poor souls still wandering the earth hundreds of years after their untimely demise. Of course, we will be sampling the traditional drinks in every venue we visit, so its not just the paranormal spirts on offer!! Our guides are always knowledgeable, entertaining and always have a risqué tale or two to tell and will be happy to recommend some local or unusual beverages. Be careful though, these ghosts may scare you sober!! This tour meets beside St Giles Cathedral on the Royal Mile at 7.30pm every night. Places are limited so book online to avoid disappointment.
