Imagine a warren of streets frozen in time, where centuries of stories are just waiting to be told. The Real Mary King's Close is a fascinating underground attraction in Edinburgh that takes visitors on a journey through the city's dark and mysterious past. It's like stepping back in time as you explore the narrow alleyways and hidden rooms that were once home to a bustling community. You'll hear stories of plague outbreaks, meet the infamous plague doctor, and learn about the daily lives of the people who lived here centuries ago. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, this place is sure to give you chills and leave you with a newfound appreciation for the history that lies beneath the streets of Edinburgh.
