Address: 74-78 Grassmarket, Edinburgh, EH1 2JR. This popular pub is named after a reference to the last hanging to have occurred in the Grassmarket, the Last Drop has a suitably macabre back story. The Grassmarket’s gallows were situated right across from the pub and could help explain the high level of supposed paranormal activity in the area. The venue's website says they are haunted by a little girl in medieval clothing, with sightings of the diminutive spirit occurring in both the cellar and the bar.
