Walking tours through Edinburgh's darkest myths, hidden closes, and haunted graveyards. No costumes. No jump scares. Just the real stories.
Fully tailored private tours built around what you want to see. Edinburgh's hidden closes to the remote Highlands. For individuals, couples, families, and groups.
Guided expeditions to places that require effort to reach. The Old Forge Pub, Knoydart Peninsula — the most remote pub on mainland Britain. No road access. Just wild Scotland.
St Giles' Cathedral, Mercat Cross, John Knox House — the landmarks and the hidden stories of Edinburgh's most famous street.
The narrow medieval alleys cut into the cliff have been here for 500 years. Advocates Close, Mary King's, White Horse — what they were, what happened there, and why some are still avoided.
Greyfriars Kirkyard, Burke & Hare, the witch trials — why Edinburgh's haunted reputation is earned, and what makes a tour worth taking.
ScotLore isn't just tours. It's Scotland's myths and mysteries brought to life across every platform. Short films, deep dives, and tales that make you check over your shoulder on the walk home.
Long-form documentaries exploring Scotland's strangest mysteries. The stories that deserve more than a two-minute clip.
Quick, atmospheric clips from the closes and graveyards. The kind of content that makes 2am scrolling a bad idea.
Moody photography, tour highlights, and the hidden corners of Edinburgh that most visitors walk past without a second glance.
"The wynds remember what the history books forgot. Every cobblestone, every shadow, every draft of cold air in a room that should be warm. These are Scotland's real stories."
ScotLoreSign up and we'll send your discount code. No spam — just Edinburgh stories and seasonal specials.
Forget the script. We build your tour around what you actually want to see — whether that's Edinburgh's hidden closes, Jacobite battlefields, or the misty glens of the Highlands. Every detail tailored to you.
A bespoke tour is exactly what it sounds like: your tour, built from scratch. No fixed route, no shared group, no rushed stops. You tell us what fascinates you — we design the day around it.
We've taken couples through the lanes where Burke and Hare stalked their victims, guided families to standing stones older than the pyramids, and led small groups into parts of Edinburgh that most locals have never seen.
You send us an enquiry with your group size, dates, and what you're drawn to. We come back with a suggested itinerary and a quote. You shape it. We refine it. Then we go.
No automated booking system. No payment until you're happy with the plan. Just a conversation between you and someone who knows Scotland's stories better than most.
Price is on application — it depends on group size, duration, locations, and complexity. Half-day Edinburgh bespoke tours start from around £150 for a couple. Full-day and multi-location tours priced accordingly. Use the form to get a quote.

Guided expeditions to the places that require genuine effort to reach. These aren't tourist stops. They're places that are remote because they've always been remote — and that's exactly the point.
The Old Forge is officially the most remote pub on mainland Britain. It sits in Inverie, a tiny village on the Knoydart Peninsula in the Scottish Highlands. There is no road connecting it to the rest of Scotland. The only way in is on foot or by boat.
Getting there is half the story. But the other half — a cold pint in a pub that has no business being there, surrounded by mountains that haven't changed since the last ice age — is something you don't forget.
Expeditions run May to September when daylight and conditions are best. We're finalising dates and pricing now. Register your interest below and you'll be first to know when booking opens.
