Mercat Tours Legend of the Month for November 2026

Enjoy 2 tickets for the price of 1 on the Historic Vaults and Haunted Underground tours.

Take a step back in time this month with Mercat Tours and learn more about the dark side of Edinburgh’s past with their award-winning Storytellers. From 01 to 30 November 2026, Edinburgh residents can enjoy 2 tickets for the price of 1 on Historic Vaults and Haunted Underground tours.

Historic Vaults offers exclusive access to the Blair Street Underground Vaults – the deepest and most extensive vaults in Edinburgh. Built in the 18^th century beneath South Bridge, Mercat Tours are the only walking tour company with access. Your Master Storyteller will lead you deep underground and together you’ll explore its perfectly preserved history – including how it became home to the city’s most destitute inhabitants. Handle artefacts found in the vaults and visit the Vaults Museum, with 3D models and interactive displays.

Or experience Haunted Underground, a ghost tour where you’ll encounter true tales of the city’s ghostly past, and remember… things don’t only go bump in the night! Follow your cloaked Storyteller through the shadowy closes of Edinburgh’s Old Town, descend into the depths of the city, and listen in horror to the dark and sinister events which took place over the years. From body snatchers to real-life characters of the city, you’ll be gripped by the true tales that lie hidden beneath Edinburgh’s streets.

All of Mercat Tours’ Storytellers are trained to adapt tours for visitors where needed. They can provide transportable stools for those who may wish to sit between stories. Assistance dogs are welcome on all of their tours. They can provide complimentary tickets for carers. To make it as easy as possible to see what tours involve, please see the Mercat Tours Accessibility Page. Here you’ll find lots of detailed information about tour routes, buildings visited and facilities available with clear dimensions and pictures to help you decide which is best for you.
