Episode 113 sees us continue our time in Edinburgh and we go deep into the history of a structure that has seen it all. Built on volcanic rock, it’s been a royal residence, a military garrison, and a prison. It has held both noble prisoners and common criminals. It’s been a site of public hangings, military sieges, and brutal interrogations.

From medieval torture chambers to the execution of accused witches, this single building has seen more suffering than most cities do in a century.

Tonight, we take a closer look at the dark history of one of the most visited landmarks in the UK.

So join me and let us ask just how haunted is Edinburgh Castle?
