On this new atmospheric tour, you’ll journey through The Real Mary King’s Close, uncovering tales that have shaped Scotland for centuries.
Join your guide under Edinburgh’s hidden streets as they reveal the stories that have plagued the city for centuries. As you wander through the dimly lit closes, hear tales of Glaistig, a half-woman and half-goat, said to guard cattle and mislead travellers; the mysterious tiny coffins un-earthed on Arthur’s Seat; and headless drummers once thought to warn off danger. Discover how these incredible stories have shaped the city’s identity and continue to echo beneath its streets.
Myths & Legends Tours take place every Friday and Saturday throughout September 2025 starting on 05 September, with two departures each day at 4pm and 5.30pm. These one-hour tours are limited to 20 guests, and visitors are advised to pre-book.
