Want to know more about the gory and ghostly past of Edinburgh? In this edition of Tour Guide Tales, Grant speaks to Tania Dron, just one of the tour guides for Mercat Tours in Scotland’s capital.

Please be aware that this episode will occasionally feature more macabre themes of torture and death and listener discretion is advised.
