Dark Shadows of Edinburgh

Shadowy stories with a charming host.

My costumed guide, “Agnes Finnie,” (who bears a remarkable resemblance to Maggie Dickson) was a delightful host through the shadowy stories of old Edinburgh. Her enthusiasm and professionalism were outstanding, and her knowledge and patience with my many questions adjacent to the tour’s stories was impressive. She is a sweet and fun guide and a great talent for the team at Experience Edinburgh.
