Niddry Street Vaults 
Niddry Wynd was built into the archways of South Bridge, once a street used for the storage of merchants goods. Unfortunately the vaults were never properly sealed, leaving rain water to make its way between the bricks and therefore ruining the merchants stock; because of this the merchants soon moved out leaving Niddry Wynd empty.
In the late 1700’s Edinburgh had a population crisis; thousands of people were homeless and living on the streets. With Edinburgh being a very small place, its people decided to utilise the space the best they could and it was at this point that Niddry Wynd found itself with new occupants; the lower class Edinburgh people. The Street became a slum filled with disease, crime and death. Very few people ventured down unnecessarily, including the authorities.
Discover the secrets lurking within South Bridge. Find out who still haunts this old forgotten street. Will you dare step inside the cursed stone circle?
A definite chilling experience . . . .
Inveraray Jail 
The Inveraray Gaol is known as a living 19th-century prison, and it opened up in 1820. The two-storied prison has three-foot-thick walls and originally contained cells on both floors, numbering eight cells in total. It was the principal jail of the county of Argyll and housed men, women and children, convicted and unconvicted prisoners as well as the sane and the insane in 8 cold, damp cells.
Visitors make their way to Inveraray jail for many different reasons, the history, the great view across Loch Fyne and for the paranormal . Over the years, the jail has earned a reputation as one of Scotland’s most haunted locations, with eerie sights and sounds appearing for visitors, staff and ghost hunters alike.

Scotland’s Secret Bunker 
150 metres down an entrance tunnel, through airtight sealed three ton blast proof doors, lays a secret environment, which reveals to us one of the most darkest periods of Scotland’s history. You have entered Scotland’s Secret Bunker, out of sight to those above, deep underground encased in three metres of concrete. The bunker was built in complete secrecy the 1950’s. It was, in its time, a massive civil engineering task in those dark post war days.
The bunker was designed in the time of nuclear emergency. The living conditions in the bunker were not too pleasant; Staff in the bunker would have slept in one of the six dormitories which were capable of sleeping up to 300 personnel. Staff would sleep for six hours and then swap their bunks with another staff member for the next six. This was known as ‘Hot Beds’. All this time personnel would never see daylight; they couldn’t even shower as uncontaminated water was too precious a commodity and remember they may have had to stay underground for over three months. The Plant room still contains much of its original equipment, this is a great example of the skill the engineers who built and maintained the plant. Filtering the air against radioactive particles; gas and biological warfare, the plant moves 1500 cubic meters of air every minute.
The sinister war telephones give a chilling centre piece to the operations room, as on these, the final three minute warning would be received in the bunker.
Gilmerton Cove 
Gilmerton Cove is a series of hand carved passageways and chambers that lie below ground to the south of Gilmerton crossroads.
Mystery surrounds this underground site.
Tradition tells us that after five years of hard labour, George Paterson, a blacksmith, completed an underground dwelling house, hewn out of solid sandstone, the work being finished in the year 1724.Gilmerton Cove has been linked with the notorious Hellfire Club and Knight Templars.
Will you uncover the mysteries of Gilmerton Cove by contacting those who once lived beneath?
As far as we are concerned this is the scariest place we have investigated!

New Lanark 
Founded by David Dale in 1785, the village became famous as a model ndustrial
community under the enlightened management of Dale's son-in-law, Robert Owen,
from 1800-1825. Owen transformed life in New Lanark with ideas and opportunities
which were at least a hundred years ahead of their time. Child labour and
corporal punishment were abolished, and villagers were provided with decent
homes, schools and evening classes, free health care, and affordable food.
There have been many reported sightings in various areas of the village. Figures
have been seen and presences have been felt by staff, visitors and guests alike.

Chillingham Castle 
At first a 12th century stronghold, Chillingham became a fully fortified Castle
in 1344. The castle is steeped in local and national history, often besieged and
always winning through. The family were made Dukes and Earls in their early
warrior days.
Chillingham certainly hosts memories of the happiness and drama of a colourful
and drama packed past.
Throughout the centuries the architectural detail and massive walls have
remained largely unchanged with its same underlying medieval strength and
character.
Claimed and named one of the most haunted locations in the world!

Castle Menzies 
The sixteenth century castle, restored by the Menzies Clan Society, was the seat of the Chiefs of Clan Menzies for over 400 years. The castle was involved in the turbulent history of the Highlands. Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Stuart Pretender to the throne, rested for two nights in the Castle on his way to the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The restoration of the ancient part of the castle involved the demolition of a greatly decayed 18th century wing.
There has never been a dull night at Castle Menzies . . . .
