Real Mary King’s Close

#getgoing2025Visiting The Real Mary King’s Close was an unforgettable experience. As we descended into the narrow, dimly lit streets, I could feel the weight of history all around me. The guide’s storytelling brought the past to life, revealing the struggles of the people who lived there centuries ago. The eerie atmosphere, especially as we walked through rooms where families once lived during the plague, left a lasting impression. The interactive exhibits and personal stories made it a deeply immersive and thought-provoking journey into Edinburgh’s hidden history. Tickets were around £19 for adults, which I found to be well worth it for the depth of experience. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting a unique, historical adventure in the city.
