A warren of streets, homes, and passageways, 5-star attraction The Real Mary King’s Close is Edinburgh’s only preserved 17th century street. This winter, join their “True Crimes” guide for an after-dark tour to explore some of the dastardly crimes and dark stories that took place here.

Separate fiction from fact as you learn more about Edinburgh’s hidden history and its former residents.

Prepare to gain an investigative insight into the nature of Edinburgh’s criminal activity on this 1-hour social history tour, where you’ll be guided through Edinburgh’s forgotten streets. Discover how the people of the closes were just as compelled by the dark details of criminal misdemeanours as we are today.

Priced at £30.00 per adult, this tour is only available to those aged 18+ years.

Please note, due to the historic nature of the site, The Real Mary King’s Close is not wheelchair accessible.
