Real Mary King's Close
Edinburgh's 18th-century city chambers were built over the
sealed-off remains of Mary King's Close, and the lower
levels of this medieval Old Town alley have survived al-
most unchanged amid the foundations for 250 years. Now
open to the public, this spooky, subterranean labyrinth
gives a fascinating insight into the everyday life of 17th-
century Edinburgh. A costumed drama student in period
costume will take you on a guided tour through the vaults,
while practising his or her dramatic enunciation.
