DISCOVER STIRLING’S DARK HISTORY THIS HALLOWEEN WEEKEND

Back by popular demand for its fourth year, our sell-out Halloween tour returns to expose the sinister secrets lurking in the heart of Stirling. Step into the footsteps of notorious murderers, grave robbers, and witches as you embark on this after-dark Halloween experience.

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 guides 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 in Stirling
Baird and Hardie
Holy Rude cemetery
The grave robbers of Stirling
The Green Lady
…& much more!
Dates and times: 30th October – 2nd November – 6:30pm & 8:30pm

Duration: 1.5 hours

Price: £15pp

Meeting Point: Stirling Gate House, St John St, FK8 1EA

Please note the tour is suitable for ages 16+ & dogs are welcome!
