Cadies & Witchery Tours

The award-winning Cadies & Witchery Tours invite you to join our fearless phantoms for a suspenseful and light-hearted outdoor walking tour of Edinburgh's Old Town. Step back a few hundred years as Alexander Clapperton (deceased) and our 'jumper-ooters' bring the Capital's grisly past vividly to life. Established in 1984, the Cadies & Witchery Tours have been entertaining people from all over the world ever since, and have become one of Edinburgh's must-see attractions. Our tours cater to all ages. We also have a wee ghoulish booking office and gift shop in West Bow (Victoria Street) where you can find an array of ghoulish and fantastical curiosities. An ornate black box on the shop counter houses a fascinating gory relic from the capital's grim past. This original artefact is a small calling-card case made out of the skin of the notorious "bodysnatcher" William Burke. We bought this grisly relic at a Phillips' auction in 1988 for £1050 (outbidding Surgeons' Hall Museum).
