Edinburgh Vaults

Head beneath the Old Town to explore these famously atmospheric underground chambers located in the arches of the South Bridge.

Originally built in the 18th century to house taverns, workshops, and storage spaces, the vaults soon became notorious for housing the city’s less savoury characters. Join a historical or, if you dare, a ghost tour to hear tales of the city’s darker past, discover the secrets hidden within the arches, and maybe even spot a spectral resident!

It’s a genuinely atmospheric and historical experience and a truly unique way to spend a dark evening in the capital.
