On Christmas Eve 1828, a jury was locked into an Edinburgh courtroom and not released until it had decided who would hang. Tonight, that jury is you.
Sworn in beneath the floodlit castle, you will carry the name of a real victim through the dark side of the Old Town as your storyteller unravels Edinburgh's most infamous case, the West Port murders. Stand on the ground where Burke and Hare's lodging house stood. Climb the Vennel to the old city wall for the finest night view of the castle. Follow the money to the anatomy schools that paid cash for bodies and asked no questions, and pass the building where William Burke's skeleton still stands in a case tonight, 197 years on.
On a silent street the ghost tours never find, hear the roll of the Sixteen called through the gates of Old Surgeons' Square. Then take your place where the real trial ran all night, and cast your verdict, with a slate token into the bag, on the one man the law let walk free.
This is a ghost tour told straight: real hauntings, real history, no costumes leaping from closes. Every stop is in the open air on public streets, and somehow that makes it worse.
