The Scottish Witch Trials - guided tour

Beginning at the evocative Witches’ Well, nestled in the shadow of the iconic Edinburgh Castle, this immersive Edinburgh witch tour takes you through the haunting history of Scotland’s most infamous Halloween and superstitious past.

Journey east to the ruins of Dirleton Castle, where beauty and tragedy intertwine. Step into the 16th-century tale of Agnes Clarkson, accused of witchcraft, and trace her footsteps to North Berwick—once the heart of Scotland’s most notorious North Berwick witch trials. Here, chilling echoes of the past still whisper through the streets.

Cross the Firth of Forth to the Witch Trials Museum in Leven, where Scottish witchcraft history comes to life through harrowing accounts of those persecuted in Scotland’s dark past.

As dusk falls, we venture to Tulliboyle Castle, where the twisting paths of the ‘Witches’ Maze’ lead deeper into the shadows of this comprehensive Witch trials Scotland tour.

Finally, gather around an open fire beneath the night sky, as tales of Scotland’s ghostly legends—spanning centuries of Scottish witchcraft history—unfold in the flickering light.
