Guided Halloween evening tour through the shadowed passageways and ancient spaces of Edinburgh Castle, strictly for over 18s.
Whispers After Dark runs at Edinburgh Castle on Wednesday 28, Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October, with tours at 6pm, 6.30pm, 7.30pm and 8pm. It's a guided evening tour through the shadowed passageways and ancient spaces of the castle, strictly for over-18s.
An expert guide leads the way, taking you into the darker side of Scotland's most iconic fortress and the hidden stories that linger after dusk. Much of it is outdoors, along steep and cobbled walkways and staircases, and it goes into dark, enclosed spaces with uneven terrain, so it's worth keeping that in mind if you're planning your night. The over-18s restriction is firm, so it's an adults-only outing.
