The Stirling GhostWalk is a guided tour of Stirling’s historic Old Town, running at 8.30pm from Tuesday - Saturdays in July and August, and on Friday and Saturday evenings at 8pm for the rest of the year.

Starting at gates of the Old Town Jail on John Street (across from the Tolbooth music venue) the tour is led by actors in the guise of the spooks themselves, mixing drama, comedy and storytelling.

Jock Rankin, the ‘Happy Hangman’ leads the weekend tours, with new characters and stories being added - and a new show, using two or three actors produces each summer season.You may meet Blind Alick Lyon, the original ‘Manic Street Preacher, the amorous ‘Auld Staney Breeks’, the mysterious and deadly Green Lady or any of a host of other worthies and weirdies – Fear, Fun and Frights for Boys and Ghouls of all ages!

The Stirling GhostWalk takes around 75 minutes to complete - a little longer or shorter, depending on the size of the audience. We meet at the gates of the Old Town Jail, St John Street and depart from there.
