The Edinburgh Dungeon

Come face-to-face with Sawney Bean and his cannibal family – he’d love to have you for dinner! Will you escape the plague in Mary King’s Close, or end up with boils on your sweaty bits?

You’ll meet Burke & Hare, the city’s most notorious serial killers and encounter ghosts from the past… Experience the sights, sounds and even smells of Edinburgh, culminating in the thrilling Drop Dead Ride to Doom at the Grassmarket gallows!

Absolutely blast! Such a wonderful way to learn the history by being exposed to it first hand! Not too scary for my 7 year old and so much fun. They really make you feel like you’re living in the different times.
