Mercat tours underground vaults

Today the group visited the Mercat underground vaults on a ghost tour. This attraction provides a historical tour with an element of spook. The tour guide Liz provided authentic storytelling using a candle to add a hint of creepiness to her words. This attraction comes at a reasonable price of £10.The tour is leaves from The Mercat Cross,High Street beside St Giles High Kirk and opposite the City Chambers. I would recommend this tour for anyone with an interest in ghosts or the history behind Edinburgh.

You can book online, by telephone, in person at the Mercat Cross, an eight sided monument just downhill from St Giles Cathedral on the High Street, or from the Mercat office, or buy advance tickets from Tourist Information Centre on Princes Street.

This tour is very interesting but for most people this is not spooky or scary. I give it 8/10.
