The award-winning Cadies & Witchery Tours invite you to join our fearless phantoms for a suspenseful and mirth-filled tour of Edinburgh's Old Town. Step back a few hundred years as Adam Lyal (deceased) and his spooky chums bring the Capital's grisly past vividly to life. Established in 1984, the Cadies have been scaring people from all over the world (and Kirkcaldy!) almost every single night sinc

e, and our walking tours have become one of Edinburgh's must-see attractions. Our multi-talented ghosts have also written and shot a number of books and films, to bring their humorous knowledge of Edinburgh and Scotland to those less keen on walking. You can find them, along with a collection of other fine freakish fare, in our online shop. Whether you are planning a visit to Edinburgh, or you're a local and just want to know what on earth all these colourful spooks are doing in your town every night, don't be afraid, book a tour online. Our tours cater to all ages, and are available at different times throughout the evening. If you have any special requirements, or are looking to arrange a personalised experience, please contact us and tell us about it.

When a serial killer visits a serial killer.
We had a surprise visit from US actor Cameron Britton who played serial killer Ed Kemper in the Netflix crime drama series Mindhunter. He was visiting with fellow actors Victoria Anne Greenwood and Austin Chase Rapp to see our very own serial killer – William Burke.
