    Ranked highest among Edinburgh ghost tours on tripadvisor. I did the 8pm Ghost and Ghouls tour and you need to go with an imagination and interest in history. I have both and whether or not spirits do exist it is still cool to learn of a city's gruesome past and go underground that is virtually untouched for over a 100years. The vaults are empty now from thieves, bums, the government, but you wouldn't want a recreated vault either. Our guide William was an elegant speaker and nice guy. I can see how people would say it is not worth it, but it is and its a very personable form of entertainment. William is an excellent story teller and the time flew by as we were learning of daily life of old Edinburgh both above and below ground.

    We took the Ghosts and Ghouls tour that included a ghost walk around the Royal Mile, plus a descent to the haunting Edinburgh Vaults. The relation of the tales was ok and the Vaults themselves quite interesting. In comparison with Mary King's Close, they do get an extra star or two simply for allowing photography during the walk -it kind of beats the purpose to refuse the visitor the opportunity to capture a ghost... In fact I did get a couple of 'interesting' photos during that walk, both in the Vaults and above...
