- chriswR1840NO0 contributionsA passionate & knowledgeable tour that’s makes your experience so much better.When you attend a tour and the knowledge of the guide is unbelievable and it’s clear this is something they’re passionate about, that makes the experience all the better. We did 2 tours on the same day and in all honesty, that gave us an appetite for more and we could have done another. Excellent value for money and highly recommend.Written August 23, 2024

She knows everything about the history of the area and the witch trials which was very interesting and I learned a lot of horrible and gruesome facts that I was unaware of. Lynda is a great quide and really funny and we had a brilliant timeWritten August 9, 2024
- Coeliaceatsout0 contributionsFun and interesting.My husband and I, and our 11 year old daughter, did the Witch Tour in Elgin with Lynda as our guide. Lynda was amazing, and she has extensive knowledge about the history of the area. There wasn't a single question she couldn't answer! Whilst walking between landmarks, Lynda entertained us with really interesting stories about why people feared witches and how it all came about. She is a great storyteller and I enjoyed learning about the history of the area we were visiting. My daughter enjoyed hunting around outside Boots on the high street to find old stonework that Lynda mentioned in the tour. She gave us ideas for places to visit and where to have lunch, thanks so much Lynda. Highly recommend!Written July 26, 2024
- gerryl6620 contributionsOoo, Ooo, Witchy Woman!Took a group of 22 on the Witch Tour a few weeks ago. Was truly wonderful! Our guide was a plethora of historical knowledge, whether it was about the witch trials, Elgin, or just the UK in general, and was able to convey this in a delightful manner that kept us captivated and entertained. She has a unique talent and was able to quickly gauge the demeanor of the group and add wit as appropriate. Highly recommend this tour if you are in the Elgin area!!!Written June 27, 2024
- ailishp20240 contributionsBook this now!!We booked this tour on the Sunday as part of our friend’s hen weekend. The tour guide was a perfect mixture of funny, entertaining and super knowledgeable- she made me come away wanting to know so much more about the history of Elgin, it’s honestly infectious! She was also able to gauge the energy of the group- giving us the grizzly details when we were leaning in, keeping us going and engaging in all our banter. The bride to be had such an amazing time, thank you for making our weekend awesome!Written April 9, 2024
- Adventure094712992800 contributionsTruly chilling!We recently took the Witch Tour in Elgin with Lynda Dean, who believes that a city's lifeblood lies in its history. It was incredibly fascinating to learn about the rich history of this city, and this tour only scratched the surface. The details of the witch trials were both eerie and eye-opening – realizing how anyone could be accused is truly chilling. Lynda, our guide, impressed us with her professionalism, sense of humor, and extensive knowledge. She not only made the dark history engaging but also sparked our curiosity to explore the histories of other regions in the country and beyond. We were left amazed at how much there is still to discover!Written January 5, 2024

- N2341EOchristinem0 contributions10/10 Highly recommend!🧙♀️Really fantastic and interesting tour! My partner and I went on Lyndas witches tour which kicked off at the meeting point outside the Elgin Museum. Lynda walked us through the wicked history of how the witches were walk through the town to trial for their death at Elgins famous Cathedral! Lynda really knows how to tell a story and has a great field of knowledge local and afar. Not to mention Lyndas wicked sense humour that had me and my partner in stitches throughout! I learned so many things about the witches of Scotland and Lynda's tour definitely has made me want to know more! Highly recommend! Thanks for the tour we had a fab day!🧡🧙♀️🧹📚Written October 28, 2023
- Deductress0 contributionsEngaging, knowledgeable and genuinely entertaining.Lynda is an excellent tour guide - she's extremely engaging, knowledgeable and genuinely entertaining. My friend and I were fortunate enough to get a tour with her just to ourselves, and it was brilliant to have such a specialised tour. You visit various areas in Elgin town, but at no point do you feel rushed or overwhelmed with information - Lynda is very natural in the way she leads her tours. It was also great to have a genuine local take us around, someone who knows the place inside and out - to the point she recognised and greeted many people we walked past. I actually studied the witch trials at university, it was my area of interest, which I never made Lynda aware of - and I learnt many new things from her tour! Which was fantastic for me. As such, I highly recommend this tour for those of you completely new to the history of the witch trials, and for those, like me, who have been studying or interested in it for many years.Written August 3, 2023
- princesspaiger0 contributionsHighly recommend this tour.Wow we had an amazing tour. Linda is an excellent tour guide who is just a well of knowledge. Kids and adults loved it. We learned so many things we would never have known. Thank you so much for great memoriesWritten July 26, 2023
- 366kirstenc0 contributionsFantasticIt was amazing, Linda was fascinating and funny and is a true wealth of knowledge. Highly recommend her tours. Determined to go on all her other tours now, as if they are only half as good as this one they'll still be well worth itWritten June 24, 2023

I’m interested in this tour but I’m wondering what the different aspects are for the interior vs exterior tours. In addition how to combine the 2 tours should I book the exterior before or after the interior and how long to allow in between (1 vs 2 hours)
