Self-guided audio tour on the history of witchcraft in Scotland
+6 photos
Follow a self-guided audio tour through Edinburgh to dive into the history of witchcraft in Scotland. Listen to stories of thousands of innocent women persecuted during the witchcraft panics. From Holyrood Palace, make your way up to the well-known Royal Mile. Stroll through the alleyways of the Old Town only to arrive at Edinburgh Castle. Learn about the public hysteria about witchcraft throughout the centuries. From the terrible times during the reign of King James VI, life during the 1500s and 1600s, all the way through the 1900s. The average time of the guided tour is 60-minutes, but you are welcome to linger a bit longer here and there deciding your own pace. This self-guided audio tour can be enjoyed on location or even at home with VoiceMap's Virtual function which disables the GPS playback.
