The Vaults Ghost Tour

Today the group visited The Vaults ghost tour at Mercat Cross on the High Street, Edinburgh. The purpose of this attractions is finding out the history and ghosts who can be found in the Vaults under South Bridge. When we were there we saw the rooms where people used to live, especially the poor and criminals. We never really saw much in terms of an actual Ghost but it was pretty good to hear all the different stories. I found out about very scary people such as the Watcher and a man called Boots whom all the children were scared of. The guide was a bit stressful as she made me scared. The guide told us about how people went down there to hide from all the scary people like robbers, murderers etc.. I never really had a favourite part because I was too scared off seeing a ghost. The things I thought were not so good was when she said we may see people that are dead. The attraction costs £10.00 adults, £8.00 concession, £5.00 child , £25.00 family. I think it was a bad value for money because it didn't last that long. The attractions opening hours are Summer (April - October): 3.00pm daily, 5.00pm Saturday

Winter (November - March): 3.00pm daily. It took about an hour I think. I think the attraction would most appeal to tourists/all people. It's good because there is a lot of information to take in. I would give this attraction about 4and half out of 5. Afterwards we went to Starbucks for a hot chocolate and it wasn't as good as our previous coffee shop!

marcat tour

Today we met Liz who took us on a tour to the vaults under the South Bridge. We met her on the High Street and then we walked down to Blair Street and went into the vaults when we went in she told us about a little boy called Jack who was a ghost and the Watcher who terrorises anyone who lived in the vaults. There was a safe room in the vaults, which is where jack and the cobbler lived.

It costs £10 for an adult and £8 for a child I don't think it was worth it because it wasn't for long and I expected it to be a lot more scary.

Mercat tours

We had a tour guide called Liz for our Ghost tour of the Vaults in Edinburgh. She took us down under the South Bridge and we were in for a hour. I did not think it was scary and it seemed to go so fast. There were four ghosts to be found down there called jack , boots , the cobbler and the watcher . The prices were £10 for an adult and £5 for a kid . I think the people who would go there are tourists visiting Edinburgh.

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.

Mercat tours

The group visited the Edinburgh Vaults on the South Bridge. The cost of the attraction is £10 for an adult £8.00 concessions £5.00 kids £25.00 family. The tour lasted one hour fifteen minutes but time flew past. The guide was called Liz and she was well...... crazy but good. There were four ghosts to be found in the Vaults. They were the cobbler, jack, the watcher and Boots. After we went to Starbucks which I thought was a rip off. I give the Vaults 2 and a half stars out of 5 as I expected it to be a bit scarier and I did not see any real ghosts.

Surgeons hall

Today the group visited Surgeon's Hall. The purpose of this attraction is to show people the history of Surgery and you can find the Surgeons Hall on Nicolson Street. When we were there we saw a lot of specimens and pictures. The guide was very helpful when I was confused because he told us alot of information.

Surgeons hall

Today the group visited Surgeons Hall. The purpose of this attraction is so that people can learn about the history of Surgery. You can find Surgeon's Hall on Nicolson Street in Edinburgh. When we were there we learned a lot about Burke and Hare. We also got to hold an endoscope and handle a knife that was about 200 years old. We were given a tour guide I would recommend having a guide to anyone who goes there as he explained all the items very clearly.
