On Christmas Eve 1828, a jury was locked into an Edinburgh courtroom and not released until it decided who would hang. Tonight, that jury is you. Sworn in beneath the floodlit castle, you carry the name of a real victim through the dark side of the Old Town as your storyteller unravels the West Port murders. Stand where Burke and Hare's lodging house stood. Climb the Vennel to the old city wall for the best night view of the castle. Follow the money to the anatomy schools that paid cash for bodies and asked no questions, and pass the building where William Burke's skeleton stands in a case tonight. On a silent street the ghost tours never find, hear the roll of the Sixteen called through the gates of Old Surgeons' Square. Then take your place where the real trial ran all night and cast your verdict on the man the law let walk free. A ghost tour told straight: real hauntings, real history, no costumes leaping from closes. Every stop is in the open air, and somehow that makes it worse.
