Storytelling is the oldest and longest-surviving tradition, and no story is quite as exhilarating as a ghost story. Join us in a traditional and atmospheric pub for a dram (or three) while our storyteller weaves together some spooky tales. Lend us your ear and meet us down at the pub!

This private experience includes:

A private, passionate, and dynamic storyteller
Three spooky stories collected by an award-winning writer
Three drams of whisky from the regions in which the stories are set
A cozy atmosphere in a proper Scottish pub
The option for us to reserve you a table for dinner in a great gastropub to end the experience (food/drinks at your own cost)
