{Travel} Day/Night 3 Edinburgh -An Evening of Ghosts & Ghouls

Happy Monday and I'm back with more of our Edinburgh adventures, if you need to catch up, start here.

College Girl had arrived from Dublin and after we got her settled in the airbnb we showed her around our neighborhood.  We had to show her Edinburgh Castle of course.

The views around the castle....

You can even see out to sea from the top of the grounds of the castle.

It was late afternoon/early evening and we headed to dinner.

She liked the sound of the place we had gone the night before so we returned to Paradise Palm for dinner.

The food was just as good the second night and we got to try some new items on the menu. 

That night we went on a Ghosts and Ghouls Tour of Edinburgh.   From the website "the night begins with a walking tour of the darker closes and wynds of Edinburgh, before journeying into the haunted Blair Street Underground Vaults. Finally we'll retire to a candlelit cellar for a dram of whisky and an evening of storytelling."  We met up at Mercat Cross.

This was our wonderful tour guide Fred.

Of course Mr. Click was chosen as one of the volunteers as she demonstrated some torture and lynching of two prisoners.

We visited some famous haunted Edinburgh landmarks and then went underground in to the Blair Street Vaults for more chilling tales.

These underground vaults are a series of chambers formed by the nineteen arches of the South Bridge.  They were used for years to house taverns, workshops for cobblers and other tradesman and storage space for merchants.  In later years they were inhabited by criminals.

The night ended in an underground tavern where we could try a dram of whisky.

Fred told us some stories of ghost sightings in the vaults. The stories were good, the whisky, not so much.

What a great first day/night in Edinburgh with our College Girl!!
