The Real Mary King's Close

Beneath the City Chambers on the Royal Mile lies Edinburgh’s deepest secret: a warren of hidden streets where real people lived, worked and died between the 17th and the 19th centuries. Follow one of Edinburgh’s past residents in underground alleyways during a guided tour. From myths and legends, to the deadly plague epidemic, and a famous royal visitor – there’s a myriad of stories just waiting to be told.

The Real Mary King’s Close was voted BEST UK ATTRACTION on Tripadvisor in 2024.
