Your Experience

Descend into the depths of the city’s darkest vaults and re-live the ominous times of Edinburgh’s history. It is here that all the mischief markers, including murderers, vagabonds and tortures, once lived and breathed. Follow your guide and uncover 19th-century artifacts that show you how life was lived here, a few centuries ago.

Listen to sinister tales about misdeeds, plotting, treason and torture that took place in the underbelly of the city. While you’re at it, make sure to keep your eyes and ears open - you might even hear a whisper or see a flicker and get the chills!
