Absolutely — I’d keep it genuinely enthusiastic but centre it on Bertie’s experience, since that’s the bit that was genuinely five-star for you. We visited the Edinburgh Dungeon for my son’s 9th birthday, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Edinburgh – he absolutely loved it! The actors were brilliant throughout and really threw themselves into their roles. There was a great balance of humour and scares: funny enough that we were laughing a lot, but with just the right amount of creepiness and jumpy moments for a nine-year-old who enjoys being scared! We also really liked the way the experience moves you from room to room, with each one telling a different part of Edinburgh’s darker history. It felt much more immersive than simply walking around an attraction, and the interaction with the actors made it especially memorable. A really fun, theatrical experience and a fantastic birthday treat. My son was still talking about it afterwards, which probably says it all!

We were a group of seven made up of family and friends some from overseas. Two of our group were "selected" during the tour which added to the hilarity. The whole experience was excellent and we will certainly be back next year.

A great show. The actors were brilliant and really exposed Edinburgh's dark side. Sets were authentic , capturing the sights, sounds, atmosphere and smells of the time. Both entertaining and scary.

The amazing actors/actresses. To think that they do this day in and day out and still make their performances fresh and funny . Loved every minute of the experience. Big thank you to them.

Yesterday
The Scoth Whisky Experience was our first stop of the day and it was incredible! The tour was fun and informative, our guide Victoria was a delight, and the final stop (not gonna spoil it in a review) was a CAN NOT MISS! 100% recommend! I will say the meeting location listed in the app was incorrect and you meet inside the building not out front. The Edinburgh Dungeon was a wild time! I went to this attraction 20 years ago and it has completely changed from what it was back in the day and because I didn't look into it and expected it to just be the same two decades later, I inadvertently took my best friend to a scare experience (and she is not a fan of scare experiences) but thankfully she did enjoy herself (which is why I am able to write this today!) And I had a blast! The scare actors were incredibly talented and the scares were absolutely earned! And we both appreciated that there was no touching. That's always a point of contention here in the states with grabbing. 100% worth doing if you like history and scares!

Great time had at this attraction. Well worth the visit and a good price too. The actors were realistic and played good parts.

Get the best of both worlds with this combo—Edinburgh Dungeon’s spooky live shows plus a full-day coach trip through the Highlands to Loch Ness.

Getting started

Start your day at the Edinburgh Dungeon in the city center or hop on your comfy coach at Castle Terrace for the Highlands trip. Just show your mobile ticket, breeze through the checks, and your guide will fill you in before things kick off.

What to expect

The Edinburgh Dungeon

Walk straight into Scotland’s creepiest history classminus the homework. With 360° sets, creepy sound effects, and wild live shows, this isn’t your average museum.

Features:

Live shows and effects: Watch performers bring tales of torture, trials, and ghost stories to life with sound, lighting, and seriously eerie energy.

The Witch of Edinburgh: Meet Maggie Dickson, the woman who survived her own hanging, along with other infamous locals from Edinburgh’s darker past.

Drop dead ride: It’s fast, it’s scary, and yes, it simulates a hanging. Totally optional but weirdly fun.

From Edinburgh: Loch Ness and Highlands Day Tour

Settle into an air-conditioned coach and let your guide take you through the Highlands with stories, scenic stops, and some classic Scottish drama.

Features:

Expert guide: Get the lowdown on everything from clan feuds to Nessie sightings and the Glencoe massacre while you ride in comfort.

Glencoe and Great Glen: Soak in epic views of Glencoe’s jagged peaks and follow the ancient fault line of the Great Glen.

Enjoy free time: Wander by the famous loch, snap a shot of Urquhart Castle, or just chill by the water.
