The Stirling Ghostwalk is a guided tour of Stirling’s historic Old Town, led by actors in the guise of the spooks themselves, mixing drama, comedy and storytelling – meet Jock Rankin (the ‘Happy Hangman’), Blind Alick Lyon (the original ‘Manic Street Preacher), the amorous ‘Auld Staney Breeks’, the mysterious and deadly Green Lady and a host of other worthies and weirdies – Fear, Fun and Frights for Boys and Ghouls of all ages!
Starting at the Stirling Old Town Jail, the tour travels through the historic Valley Cemetery, featuring sites as Mar’s Wark, the Stirling Guildhall and Holy Rude Church – all in the shadow of stately Stirling Castle!
Tours run at 8.30pm from Tuesday-to-Saturday in July and August, each year, starting outside the Stirling Old Town Jail, St John Street, Stirling.
Selected dates are also offered each Halloween.
One-man Ghostwalks – led by the Burgh’s notorious Hangman, Jock Rankin – run each Friday at 8.00pm, for the remainder of the year.
Special bookings are available throughout the year any evening other than Sundays.
Adults: £6.00
Children and Concessions (OAPs/Students/Disabled): £4.00
Family (2 Adults & 2 Children): £16.00
