What you can expect

  • Originally run as a sold-out event over Halloween, we're excited to offer our Dark Side Tour as a private tour. A castle, a cathedral, and the oldest university in Scotland - St Andrews is home to iconic stories that have shaped Scotland's past and present, but this tour isn't for the lighthearted.

    From wild rabbits overtaking the Old Course to a mysterious poisonous sausage massacre and even the plague, St Andrews is steeped in dark, mystic history. Walk in the footsteps of gangsters, murderers, and marytrs.

    Tour highlights:
    The Rabbit War
    Al Capone's link to St Andrews
    The ghost of Tom Morris
    The sausage massacre
    …& much more!

    Join your local guide and discover the horrific tales of martyrs, executions, ghosts and more as this quaint town's dark history is brought to life.
