Tales from the Shadows of Gladstones Land

Tales from the Shadows of Gladstones Land runs at Gladstone's Land on Friday 30 October, a late-night tour of the house rather than a daytime visit. The rooms are dimly lit and the atmosphere leans on the eerie, with the tour playing into Edinburgh's reputation for ghosts and urban legend. The organisers describe it as a night full of chills and thrills in which the city's mysterious stories come to life.

Gladstone's Land is a National Trust for Scotland property on the Royal Mile, and this particular tour is built around the spooky side of the city. Instead of the usual daylight walk-through, you'll be moving through the house after dark, with the storytelling focusing on the eerie legends Edinburgh is known for. It's aimed at anyone who likes spine-tingling fun, and it's restricted to over-16s.

Tickets are between £12.50 and £14, and you can book them through Eventbrite. The tour runs from 6pm to 7pm, so it's a one-hour slot in the early evening rather than a full night out. If you're into the city's ghost stories and want to see the house when the lights are low, this is the one.
