Here are 10 of the most haunted streets in Edinburgh and the supernatual beings that are said to stalk them.
5. Dovecot Road
Legend has it that a sycamore tree once stood on Corstorphine's Dovecot Road and was the place where a woman stabbed her lover to death while defending herself. She was sentenced to death and her ghost still returns to the scene brandishing the murder weapon. | Google Maps
6. Niddry Street
It's hard to find a street coming off the Royal Mile that isn't haunted by some spectre or other. A case in point is Niddry Street which is home to one Scotland's most haunted pub - The Banshee Labrynth. While enjoying a drink here you might come across deceased sex worker Rosie who is said to scratch male members of staff, 'Six Finger Bill' who grabs customers ankles, Little Molly, Mr Boots, Colin the Poltergeist, and many other supernatural residents. Workers have reported everything from blood curdling screams and glasses moving by themselves to shaking chairs and small girls walking through walls. | Google Maps
7. Charlotte Square
The Georgian House is a grand 17th century townhouse on historic Charlotte Square that's owned by the National Trust and open to the public. In the drawing room is a piano made in 1804 and there have been several reports of piano music floating through the air long after closing time when the house lies empty. Meanwhile there have been four different apparitions spotted on the square over the years - a coach, a Victorian woman, a beggar, and a monk. That's quite the ghostly gang. | Google Maps
8. West End Place
West End Place, in the city's Dalry area, is reputedly haunted by the wonderfully-named 'Johnny One Arm'. This is said to be the ghost of a man called John Chiesley, who murdered a judge and had his legs broken and weapon-holding arm chopped off before being hanged in punishment. The one-armed spectre was seen roaming the streets around Dalry, with a host of sightings on West End Place where a one-armed skeleton was found hidden under the floorboards house in 1965. The sightings stopped once it was properly buried but started up again in the late 80s and early 90s, with added poltergeist activity. | Google Maps
