The spirits of former residents of the castle so enjoyed their tour last year that they have decided to return! This time they have chosen to visit on the occasion of Mr William Reid’s birthday. Join them on their tour of the castle and share their sense of wonder at the changes that have been made over the years, whilst listening to their recollections of life in Lauriston in bygone days.

Edinburgh Living History are our multi award- winning team, who interpret the history of the castle in a variety of entertaining ways in Edwardian costume - bringing alive the history of the house. Each performance is carefully devised by Edinburgh Living History to be as historically accurate as possible and include a touch of drama and a soupçon of humour. You will walk through the Castle on a special tour watching the performance unfold. Why not make a day of it at Lauriston and have some lunch at Mimi’s café on site.
