- Inverleith is an affluent area of Edinburgh, home to the Botanical Gardens, Fettes college and some of the finest townhouses in the city.
One of these houses, only known as "Number 17" was said to have be home to a haunting so terrible that many believe the property was demolished due to the terrible events that happened there.

Thanks for the warning...
I am exceedingly fond of slant ceilinged attic rooms; as long as there are dormer windows.
Wonderful story. And the music is haunting and lovely, totally appropriate to this piece. Well done.
Too kind, thank you 😊
I love that you always preface the video with a chillingly apt quotation .
Been listening to many of your videos since I found you, but I have to say, this one is thus far my favourite!
Avoid booking the attic room. Where's the fun in that? I say take your chances & book it but don't ask for a refund 😉🦇
Haha, love your enthusiasm! 👏🏻
🥳👍‼️ New Eerie Edinburgh post, that’s brightened the day up! I seem to recall the Barclay Square legend ending with the sailor throwing himself from an upstairs window to escape the terror/ being ejected through the window and him ending up impaled on the wrought iron railings at the front of the property.
I hope No.17 still stands.
My stepmother used to rent the bridge keepers cottage at Kelso bridge, I’m not going to say ‘sinister or malevolent’ but there was definitely a ‘presence’ in the upstairs bedroom (just kept as a store room) and on the stairs down to the living area. Her dog was always getting weirded-out by goings on in the house.
Oh wow, thanks for sharing. My folks live down that way and i definitely need to learn more about the borders. Was/is it a known haunted location?
You're spot on about Berkeley Square. My school library had a book called "the worlds greatest ghosts", first read the story there and it 100% terrified me!
@@eerieedinburghI don’t know if it’s recorded officially as haunted, you’d need to ask someone from the town. It’s got some good history though, there’s a groove in the top of the bridge wall from where the folks would drag their toll coins along the wall in protest to paying the toll. - you’d reduce the amount of metal in the coin by scuffing it, in theory making it less valuable.
As a ‘postal address’ it’s called Bridge End Cottage, Kelso…….if that helps.
Mellerstane house might have more recorded history 👻?
@@eerieedinburgh I read about the Berkeley Square haunting about 50 years ago. It scared the crap out of me!
@@billyaitken7461 Thank you, definitely going to look into this 👍🏻
@@eerieedinburgh Dryburgh Abbey seems to have had the most press about haunting in that area.
Another spooky tale 👻 love it!
I have yet to watch all of your videos, but this to date has been the creepiest. Still, when I visit Scotland, I want an attic room!
You are awfy brave!
Fast became my favorite channel for bedtime. Perfect stories, perfect tone, perfect cadence. ✊🖤 Please never stop.
What a lovely thing to say. You've made my day 😊
Stellar stories, excellent graphics. Chefs kiss!
Aww, you're a star. Thank you 😊
Excellent narration,always love your story telling ,Thank you 😊
Aww, you're very kind. Thank you 😊
Great ghost story, always like them ,can’t wait for the next one
Thank you 😊
Woke to see this gem waiting for me. Brilliant! As usual. Keep it up mate. 👍👍👌😊
You're a star, thank you my friend.
Great story - love the live action re-enactments. I suspect most big towns and cities have a story of this sort - I recall another youtube station telling a very similar tale about some students and a house in pre-revolutionary Russia, but can't give you any more details.
Yeah, i think you could be right. I'm going to have a wee search and see if i can find this. Thanks for the kind comments also 😊
Excellent !!!!!! 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Thank You for another fascinating video . I am busily recommending you to my friends and work colleagues who are into the spooky . ❤
Thank you, that's hugely appreciated 😊
I remember this story when I was growing up. We were told that it was a woman in the Victorian ages who had given birth to a very disfigured child. The woman was aristocracy and ashamed by the appearance of her son so chained him up and locked him in the attic. Although the child was fed everyday he was never allowed out of the attic and grew to be a man having never known outside the room. When the old lady died, there was no one to feed her son and so he slowly starved to death driven increasingly mad with hunger. The house still stands and is currently being refurbished!
Ohh, i've never heard that before, thank you! I'm going on a ghoat tour next week with North Edinburgh Nightmares, who is taking us to the location. I'm very excited!
Oh, my heavens. This is a house that might best be torn down.
I wholeheartedly agree!
@@eerieedinburgh But not until I can arrange a tour first! LOL!
You can tear the physical house away, but whatever stain is there will live on in the new structure.
We just watched this great episode. Brilliant stuff mate👍
Perfect.
Thank you 😊
I'll pass on the Attic room , thank you just the same .
Have heard this tale many times nut never knew where it was
Really interesting stories love ghosthunts
Thank you, me too 😊
1st time here and I must say that I'm quite impressed 👍
Thank you 😊
I actually first read about this story in middle school from a humor book.
Thank you for the telling of the tale ⚜️.
Thanks for listening 👍🏻
Wow😮 one of the best stories for tonight😊 i'm not a really brave person, though i love graveyards but with a history like that i will take a ground floor room thank you😜
Great story! I am thoroughly enjoying your creepy tales. My wife and I are planning a trip to the UK in the near future. Scotland is definitely on the itinerary. A colleague and good friend of mine grew up in Edinburgh. Do you know of any really good "Haunted Edinburgh" tours? Looking forward to more of your videos, and of course, visiting your wonderful country in person. Cheers from Canada!
Hello Canada! 👋🏻 thank you for the kind words. So, you have a *lot* of choice in Edinburgh. There are a couple of companies that tour the vaults: Mercat & Auld Reekie tours are both good. I've been on both sets of tours and really enjoyed them. You can also go on the tour in Mary Kings Close, which is an incredible location. I think you have a few more options also for the overground tours down the Royal Mile and old town, but literally spoilt for choice 😊
@eerieedinburgh4720 Wow! That is a cornucopia of choices! Thank you so much! Can't wait!
@@jamiechesloZak Bagans Ghost Adventures did an episode in Edinburgh . Not sure if you are a fan of that show but it was pretty interesting . Might still be available on CZcams . I am Scottish but live across from the East coast . Best wishes to you 👋
I need to stop watching these so late at night. I lie awake listening to the creaks and groans as my house cools down overnight.
Good Afternoon hope you’re doing well thank you for this wonderful information have a great weekend God bless you honey❤
Thank you! And to you 😊
We need to go there. 👻
Can also look for the fairies and centaur supposedly found in the botanics!
I have been, and it is hauntingly beautiful. Very recommended!
@@eerieedinburgh I’ve got a bit of a thing for Centaurs. Love em
Someone deliberately staying in a haunted room? You’re asking for trouble! 😁
Absolutely!
It's not "psychic garden" it's "physick garden". They're entirely different words in spelling, meaning and pronunciation.
I just love your voice...**swoon...
Aww, you're making me blush 😊
@@eerieedinburgh I bet you say that to all your admirers ☺️
Haha!
Awfy Guid many thanks
I think the Scottish, having a long tradition of telling ghost stories at Christmas, has each successive story teller trying to outdo the last generation by embellishing until the stories become so macabre that they've lost the sense of realism that makes them scary in the first place.
Someone must have have done bad ju ju in it and opened up a portal to 👺🚪🧟♂️
Aye, if its a genuine haunting its no ordinary spirit!
Did anyone ever think of doing a seance?
looks like 17 Ferry Rd
