Vaults Vigils

City of the Dead will be holding regular night vigils in Damnation Alley in Edinburgh’s Underground City. Call 0131 225 9044 or email us for dates, times and prices.

Father Figure

Father Figure is J A Henderson’s next book - a horror novel about a teenage runaway living in Greyfriars Graveyard who falls in with a dodgy ghost tour company. Wonder where he got that idea?

Cameron Mackintosh Award

Two City of the Dead tour guides, John and Gerry Kielty, have won the Cameron Mackintosh Award for the Best Musical. Set (naturally) in Greyfriars Graveyard, The Sundowe has already toured Scotland to critical acclaim. www.thesundowe.com

And, if you want their (most excellent) band, The Martians are available for hire. A big hit at the Edinburgh Festival, they are anarchic, irreverent and very funny. They’re pretty good tour guides too. www.the-martians.co.uk

Their show at the 2008 Edinburgh Festival Fringe Twisted Tales of Greyfriars won a Spririt of the Fringe award, as well as five star review from Fest and Three Weeks magazines.

Halloween, New Year and Easter

We have lots of extra tours on at these holidays – that’s why you can’t book ‘em online. To book, just call us and we will tell you the times and reserve spaces for you.
