Edinburgh one of the 'scariest places on earth' to visit
Thrill seekers looking for a city's worth of frightening and mysterious attractions to visit can tour the Scottish capital of Edinburgh, voted one of the scariest places to visit on earth.
The Edinburgh Vaults, the Ghost Tour and the Edinburgh Dungeon were voted three of visitors' favourites places to visit in a survey by travel and leisure retailer for lastminute.com.
The city has primed itself for horror-loving groups as its long history provides plenty of entertainment. The Edinburgh Dungeon offers tourists to learn Scotland's history deep within the dungeon complete with a "chilling" boat ride. Fans of the more mysterious history in the city can visit the vaults, where poor families lived underground amid barely habitable conditions and legends of the notorious body snatchers Burke and Hare abound.
Fans of the Halloween season looking for accommodation close to the ghoulish attractions can stay in the historic Old Town Edinburgh, situated close to hotels, bed and breakfasts and self-catering accommodation that will ensure your stay is as comfortable as it is exciting.
