Step back in time and experience Mary King's Close -- a network of narrow underground alleys found beneath the City Chambers and along Edinburgh's famous Royal Mile.
During the 1600s, Mary King's Close was the very heart of Edinburgh -- one of the city's busiest and most vibrant streets. A hundred years later, it was buried beneath the rapidly expanding city. Discover how and why as your costumed in-character guide from the past takes you on a tour through the Close, sharing fascinating and intriguing stories about this mysterious place.
Step out into daylight and take a guided walk along the famous Royal Mile. This bustling street runs the entire length of the Old Town, snaking down the spine of the hill that stretches from Edinburgh Castle to Holyrood House.
Notes:
Wear comfortable walking shoes. Bring a light jacket as it can be cool underground. Tour operates rain or shine but may be canceled by the operator in the event of extremely bad weather or unsuitable conditions. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, cobblestones, inclines, and many steps.
