Do you know someone spooky enough to do this underground ghost tour job?

Mercat Tours are looking for people who can give history a 'damn good telling' to join their team of storytelling ghost tour guides.

The company, which has been running tours from Blair Street since 1985 is a living wage employer , has a COMPANY HOLIDAY HOME that its employees can use and is part of the cycle2work scheme.

Applicants will go through two rounds of auditions to see if they're up for telling the stories of the Royal Mile and Blair Street Underground Vaults.

This little independent St Stephen Street bookshop is the best of its kind in Britain - here's why  

The vaults are largest system of underground caverns in Edinburgh - built in the 18th century beneath South Bridge, Mercat Tours are the only walking tour with access.

From crime to culture to politics, a guide has to know the lot to unfold the true stories of capital’s past.
