Day 1:
Arrive in Edinburgh by 10am. After settling into our hotel, we will
meet for a short exploration of Scotland's Capitol City. The
world-renowned Witchery Restaurant will host dinner. The
Witchery's ghoulish past is the perfect place for our welcoming
evening. The Witchery Tour begins after dinner for those who
want to join. Overnight in Edinburgh.
Day 2:
We begin the day by touring Edinburgh Castle, which holds
a wealth of Scottish history as well as the Crown Jewels.
After lunch we are off to the Palace of Holyrood House,
haunted by Mary, Queen of Scots, and others. At night, we
will take a tour of Mary Kings Close, where we'll hear tales
of the spirits who wander these hidden streets beneath the
city. We will have a Pub Dinner at the White Heart Inn after
the tour. Overnight in Edinburgh.
Day 3:
In 1679, 1200 Covenanters were imprisoned in Greyfriars
Kirkyard pending trial. The Covenanter's Prison, contained
inside the Kirkyard, is reputed to be one of the most haunted
places in the world and we will tour this historical place today.
Afterward, we will make the short drive to Rosslyn Chapel to
explore this legend in stone that some believe contains the
Holy Grail. Enjoy some free time for afternoon shopping before
we dine at Haldanes, winner of Edinburgh's restaurant of the year and city chef of the
year. After dinner, we head to Old Town for a private tour that ends with a descent into
the vaults beneath South Bridge. Overnight in Edinburgh.
Day 4:
Today we travel to Glasgow. We will take a leisurely tour
of some of the sites around this famous architectural city
before checking into the hotel. We will dine at the
famously haunted Cathedral House Hotel and, after
dinner, enjoy a haunted Glasgow city tour. Overnight in
Glasgow.
Day 5:
We visit the Glasgow Cathedral, one of the most complete
cathedrals in Scotland having escaped the reformation, and
Necropolis, an ancient burial ground which is believed to be
the most haunted area of the city. Late afternoon we travel to
Stirling where we will overnight.
Day 6:
We begin our day in Stirling, where spirits abound. Of all the
castles in Scotland, the magnificent fortress of Stirling Castle
is probably the most important in terms of its strategic
position. In olden times it was generally believed that
whoever controlled Stirling Castle would control Scotland!
The Castle is haunted by several ghosts, and we will hear
their stories as we tour. In the afternoon we will have some
free time to stroll the village of Stirling for shopping and
sightseeing. Overnight in Sterling.

Day 7:
After breakfast in Stirling, we travel to Dunfermline to visit the
ancient abbey built in 800 A.D. This is the famous burial place of
King Robert the Bruce and others. You will hear the amazing
history and stories of the spirits who still wander. In the afternoon,
we make the short drive to meet up with the Association of
Paranormal Investigators of Scotland (APITS). We will have
exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the Boreland Lodge to
accompany "APITS" investigators through the hotel. We will brave
the spirits that evening as we overnight at the lodge.

Day 8:
We journey east today and take in what is believed to be
the most haunted castle in Britain, Glamis Castle. The
Castle is best known for it's connection with
Shakespeare's MacBeth and also for being the childhood
home of the late Queen Mother. This afternoon we visit
Arbroath Abbey, a Tironesian monastery where the
Declaration of Arbroath was signed which asserted
Scotland's independence from England. We will dine
nearby and journey back to Edinburgh to overnight.
