Back by popular demand - walk in the footsteps of murderers, slave owners and witches on this after-dark Halloween tour of Aberdeen.

Behind the grandeur of the Granite City lies a past of murder, witchcraft, crime, punishment and death… stories that reveal a very different side to the city you know today.

Discover the people and events behind some of the city’s most disturbing stories, and uncover the dark history that has been hidden beneath Aberdeen’s familiar streets for centuries.

This is Aberdeen as you’ve never seen it before: not just the Granite City of architecture and history, but a city shaped by crime, punishment, superstition and tragedy.
