Walk in the footsteps of witches, executioners, and grave-robbers on this after-dark Halloween tour of Stirling.

Jails, graveyards, and one of the most important castles in Scotland - Stirling has it all. But on this walking tour, there are no rose-tinted glasses or stories of Robert the Bruce. Over Halloween weekend, in the dark of the night, walk through Stirling's graveyard and eerie streets with your local guide uncovering Stirling's dark history.

From unsolved murders, to grave-robbers and ghosts, immerse yourself in the lesser-known history of Stirling, a city with a long, dark history.

Tour highlights:

The witch trials of Stirling
The plague and death
Holy Rude cemetery
The grave robbers of Stirling
…& much more!
