Richard is incredibly knowledgeable on the subject of ghosts and their activities about St Andrews. In a walk about town he shares locations of frequent sightings as well as the history behind their being. His tellings bring St Andrews to life, which is funny as he speaks the entire tour of those that are no longer. We look forward to furthering our experience with his books on the subject… especially those specific to St Andrews and Fife.

One of the very best ghost tours I've been on! I really enjoyed all the history with it and the fact that all information was based on, well, fact (and genuine experiences)! - Richard was really knowledgeable. We got the see areas of St Andrews we didn't even know were there, which was brilliant! Would highly recommend the tour to anyone visiting St Andrews, and also to those who live there. Kirsty.

The guide is a chap who clearly knows his stuff when it comes to the local history and the paranormal in the local area. He takes it very seriously and this is not the sort of ghost walk devoted to drama and making you jump. Due to Covid restrictions the tour was restricted to one household per booking. Totally understand why but does detract from a group experience.
