St Andrews Walking Tours
Award-winning original walking tours of St Andrews with a professional guide.
St Andrews is one of the most unique and surprising locations in the world. Being the Home of Golf it is no secret that St Andrews is a sought-after destination, but there has been a vibrancy here for well over 1000 years.

You will hear about the formation of St Andrews, the university and Royalty through the ages from Pictish Kings to Mary Queen of Scots and Prince William. You will also hear all about golf at the Old Course.

Edinburgh Darkside Ghost Tour of Mysteries and Murder and Legends
Edinburgh sells itself on castles and tartan by day — but its real character was forged in the dark. This walk goes after the city's grimmer past: the public executions and brutal justice of the Old Town, the underground vaults where the poorest were left to rot, the witch trials fed by royal obsession, and the body snatchers who turned graves into a trade.
What sets it apart is that the ghost stories are anchored in documented history, not invented for a scare. Your licensed local guide separates the hauntings from the harsh reality that created them — from the Canongate Tolbooth's torture cells to Burke and Hare's murders — showing why a city shaped by disease, crime and superstition still unsettles everyone who walks its closes after dark.
