Late-Night Underground Vaults Terror Tour

The Late-Night Underground Vaults Terror Tour is a guided night-time tour of Edinburgh's historic underground vaults, a network of stone chambers built beneath the South Bridge in the 1780s. The vaults served as workshops, taverns, and housing before falling into disuse, and their reputation for paranormal activity has made them a focal point of the city's ghost-tour circuit.

Guides lead small groups through the darkened chambers, covering the social history of the Old Town alongside accounts of reported hauntings and unexplained events. The late-night format means tours run after dark, heightening the atmosphere of the low-ceilinged stone rooms. Tickets cover the guided tour and entry to the vault sections included in the route. Check the schedule for available departure times, as slots vary by season. For more things to do in Edinburgh, the city offers a wide range of historical and cultural attractions alongside this tour.
