We’ll be discussing topics such as murders, torture, and executions, and we’ll always do our best to read the group and keep the storytelling engaging rather than gratuitous. One more note for dog-lovers: these tales are a bit too dark for the ears of our young Golden Retriever tour guides, Walter and Arthur, so they won’t be joining us on Twilight Tales of Edinburgh.
