I was expecting to go to Calton Hill and Canongate cemetery on this tour, as it details above, but I still had a fabulous time hearing different murders, witches and ghost stories from the brilliant guide Tommy. We went round the Old Town, Grassmarket and Greyfriars and when Tommy was telling us about a woman who had her throat slit by a man she rejected, my throat started really throbbing and I don’t know if it was in sympathy or paranormal but when we moved away from that area my throat stopped hurting. In Greyfriars, I was sure I saw something moving behind me and took a picture and there’s a creepy side profile of a man in my photo!! Tommy was a great tour guide, very friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable.Brilliant night tour of the darkest parts of Edinburgh's history.
