About me: I was executed on the 27th of March 1811 over the minor matter of highway robbery, but resurrected in 1985 to haunt the closes and courtyards of the Royal Mile! You can join me any night of the week on one of my ghostly walking tours, or just get in touch with me personally through here!
There have been many men (and at least one woman!) who have worn the cloak of Adam Lyal (deceased) over the years, so don't be confused if my appearance should change over time (or over the weekend). I think, deep down, we all have a bit of Lyal in us...
As the elections are now over, the campaign videos are away now (awww...), but you can still view them on Director Robin Mitchell's profile!
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone with an interest in history, horror and hilarity! Also, if anyone has any questions relating to Edinburgh's darker side, witchcraft in history, or anything of that nature, do feel free to ask...
how about doing a radio version of the witchery tales ,so ,why do not do a film version of the two tours for the tv as i remember highlights , it was on the programme in at the deep end for bbc
Thanks for the add, I saw your page and loved it! I love learning about the supernatural and I love learning about Edinburgh history; I've wandered through just about every graveyard up there :P
