The Witchery
Photo: Wikipedia
The Witchery is a restaurant on the Royal Mile, Edinburgh, adjacent to the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle. The restaurant was founded in 1979. The name comes from the history of witch burnings in 16th and 17th century Scotland, many of which took place on the nearby Castlehill.
Hauntings are told as reported — by owners, guests, guides and investigators — never as fact. The history underneath is often real, and sometimes tragic; we treat it with respect. Background from Wikipedia.
