Overview

Join your guide on a journey through the brutal history of the Highland Capital. You’ll learn about beheadings and worse on this 90 minute exploration of the dark past of these now peaceful streets. Ghost sightings not guaranteed, but stories of lost spirits and souls will make you take a second look at this charming city that has seen earthquakes, floods and fires bring devastation long before it became the universally popular destination it is today. Learn about a knight in shining armour and standing stones we can only hope do not fall over, visit the graves of important figures and find hard evidence of their gruesome habits. Your guide will keep you safe as we follow a trail of bones – ideally in the evening, although we will alternate accommodate timing requests where possible.

Great Tour!

Published on Mar, 2025

Steve was an excellent tour guide and so much fun to spend time with! Just the right amount of spooky and historical information. We learned a lot and had a great time on the tour.

We had an amazing walking tour in Inverness. I booked a Halloween Tour. Elaine showed us all the dark chapters of the town, and explained also a lot of Scottish history. Was a relly great experience.
