Tour Description
Drinking dens. Brothels. Riotous nudity. Edinburgh's history isn't all royal receptions and fine manners. On this private tour you'll see a mischievous side to the Scottish capital - full of tales of love gone wrong and unspeakable perversions.
On this private tour you'll peep into the seedier side of Edinburgh's Old Town. Your expert guide will point out the window where Mary Queen of Scots appeared, flushed and topless. Or the trees that James Boswell climbed, for the rough pleasure of the bark. And the lanes that hid lascivious establishments - and the furious spouses who discovered treachery there.
Stories to make you blush
For the last half hour we'll retire to Megget's Cellar for candlelit storytelling and a complimentary drink. You'll never see Edinburgh in the same light again.
