# Event Details - **Event Name**: Edinburgh's Witches, Wh*res & Wayward Women - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 06 Aug, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sun, 27 Sep, 2026 at 12:30 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: A 90-min walking tour through witch trials, body snatchers, brothels, and the asylum — and the women who survived all of it. Or didn't.About this EventCome walk the Old Town with me and meet the women Edinburgh filed under as witch, wh*re, and wayward—and ask yourself who exactly was doing the filing.For roughly three centuries, this city burned women as witches, hanged them for hiding stillbirths, sold their corpses to medical students, locked them up for "hysteria”, and then, decades later, pelted the ones trying to become doctors with mud and a live sheep. Progress, as ever, took its sweet, undead time.Everything here comes from somewhere real—trial records, old pamphlets, case notes, forgotten memoirs—plus a few genuinely excellent novels that resurrected (pun intended) these women before I did. I'm weaving it together into one walk, not reciting it off a plaque.Disclaimer: This walk covers execution, sexual exploitation, the corpse trade, and the historical abuse of women in psychiatric care—much of this can be genuinely upsetting, while also feeling absurdly hilarious. Expect gallows humor. Literally, in at least one case. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/edinburgh/edinburghs-witches-whres-and-wayward-women/100001995459904290 - **Event Categories**: fitness - **Slot details of has slots**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: 18+ - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: The Witches Well - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 22.38, max: 22.38, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Edinburgh - **state**: SC - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Witches Well - **lat**: 55.9489079 - **long**: -3.1954802 - **full address**: The Witches Well, Castlehill, Edinburgh, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Edinburgh's Witches, Wh*res & Wayward Women - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/af5a00e979c8cd70d8995deb57b205f28fb25bb2df7187371414b30a2fe1b1d5-rimg-w1200-h676-dc181808-gmir.jpg?v=1786307055 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Edinburgh's Witches, Wh*res & Wayward Women being held? - **A:** Edinburgh's Witches, Wh*res & Wayward Women takes place on Thu, 06 Aug, 2026 at 11:00 am to Sun, 27 Sep, 2026 at 12:30 pm at The Witches Well, Castlehill, Edinburgh, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Is there an age restriction for Edinburgh's Witches, Wh*res & Wayward Women? - **A:** Edinburgh's Witches, Wh*res & Wayward Women is strictly for guests aged 18 and above.

Adopted at birth, and raised across several countries before eventually landing back where I started—sounding vaguely Canadian, and I've made peace with explaining that approximately four times a tour.For years, this walk existed in an unofficial, unpaid version—the one I gave every friend, cousin, and semi-willing houseguest who came to visit, dragging them past graveyards and closes until someone eventually said some version of 'you should really be doing this properly.' Enough people said it enough times that I believed them.I'm also the self-published author of the Legacy of Blood & Hope series (Everlasting, Everfallen), and I'm currently elbow-deep in 1820s Edinburgh archives writing—a gothic novel about grave robbers, reluctant miracles, and the kind of women these walks are about. Which means this isn't just me telling you what I found in the archives. It's also me finding out, in real time, which of these stories actually get under your skin—so if you laugh in the wrong place or go quiet at the wrong moment, know that I noticed, and it's probably going straight into the manuscript.I live here, I walk these streets constantly, and I have never once regretted knowing this much about dead bodies." } ] } ] ```
