Hidden below Edinburgh’s South Bridge is a haunting labyrinth of chambers with a history of torture, body snatching, and wicked murder. Only for those with nerves of steel, join a Local Specialist and you’ll be led by torchlight through vaults that are rumoured to be amongst Edinburgh’s most haunted.
