Mercat Tours will run a Halloween event in Edinburgh on 23 October 2026 for £33. The tour includes exclusive access to the Blair Street Underground Vaults and a walk to Canongate graveyard. A Master Storyteller will share tales of murderers and cursed souls.
Spend Halloween listening to tales of infamous murderers and cursed souls. Venture into the haunted Blair Street Underground Vaults then tread under the cover of darkness to Canongate graveyard, known for its restless residents. Dare to wander where restless souls roam. With exclusive access to the haunted Blair Street Underground Vaults, a ghostly walk through Edinburgh’s shadow-laced Old Town, and a dramatic finale in one of the city's most atmospheric graveyards, this tour is your opportunity to explore Edinburgh’s most haunted locations on the most haunted night of the year. Cannibals. Murderers. Cursed souls. Your Halloween tour begins at the Mercat Cross, in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town. Here, your Master Storyteller will conjure stories of darker Samhuinn traditions before leading you down historic streets, spinning true tales from Edinburgh’s gruesome past along the way. Next comes a chilling descent into the haunted vaults, once home to a horde of criminals, miscreants, and cursed souls, where flickering flames unsettle the senses and every sound or movement makes you flinch. Now it is on to the Canongate graveyard. As you follow your cloaked guide through the Old Town’s narrow closes, the cobbles echo with footsteps and the wind carries more than just a chill. Then, into the graveyard for a hair-raising finale among the dark and foreboding tombs—and here, you may come to feel just how thin the veil really is at Halloween...
