If you've dreamed of scaring tourists in the city with spooky ghost tales then this rarely available job will be for you.

The Necrobus is seeking talented, funny actors to join their theatre company whose buses are a familiar sight around Edinburgh's streets.

And it might just be the perfect job for an Edinburgh history buff.

You'll need 'experience' in comedy, murder, execution and tourism but could earn up to £70 a day if successful.

Run from a double decker bus, the Ghost Bus Tours are one of the only moving theatre performances.

It has proved a popular attraction with tourists, and locals alike, with its unique blend of spooky tales set around the streets of Edinburgh.

The company promise "thrilling" tales from Edinburgh's often chilling history, traveling along streets like Royal Mile and the Grassmarket.

The attraction's Tripadvisor is full of glowing reviews from people who have taken part in the tour recently, with some changes made recently to comply with coronavirus restrictions.

"We learnt interesting and gruesome facts about the city, historical people, sayings, buildings and graveyards. Our conductor added humour to the ghostly stories which included a walked ( socially distanced) tour of the graveyard."
