Ghosts of Edinburgh

“This way mortals!” the ghost of Burke, an Irish man who came to Scotland with his friend, Hare, got broke, started murdering people, took them to the Medical College were they paid for the dead bodies and was hanged (alone, his friend was the one who gave him over(and went free himself)) in the end.

    Edinburgh as I have mentioned about a million times is a magic city, but many people also say it’s haunted and there are plenty of ghost tours going around graveyards, down into vaults and the undergrounds. They all cost about 10-15 pounds per person and are probably great fun, but we – again – found a not so good kept secret. A free ghost tour starting right off High Street, turn left when you reach Starucks.
    The guy actually does it for a living and it was a wonderfully horrible little tour probably worth much more than the paid ones, but as he said: “If you give me 5 pounds each it will tell me that you liked the tour, if you give me 10 it will tell me that it was an excellent tour and if you give me 20 pounds each it will tell me that you’re all stupid. So I hope you’re all stupid!”

    It is a “must-do” in Edinburgh to go on a ghost tour and I highly recommend this one. For the rest of my day I basically spent it shopping a little, I bought this beautiful Buddah-statue of the nicest old woman, everyone’s so nice in Scotland! – and then we went to the Hard Rock Café to eat and for those of you who wonder what happened to my plans to go to Canton Hill or Edhinburgh Castle, I think  I did something stupid with my foot when I worked my way down the mountain and yes, no more hills on this trip.

See ye tomorrow morning, mortals,
