5/5
Sadly too many people visit this attraction in the hope of encountering a ghost. The reality is that the story of Mary Kings Close, while inpirational of ghost stories, is one of tragedy. The close was sealed up by the council during an outbreak of the plague and its occupants left to die inside, cut off from the rest of the city. Re-discovered and opened to the public in the 1970s a tour of the close brings historic Edinburgh to life!

    The famous "Marikin Street" and "Nanqiao cellar" finally found that the alley downstairs of the hotel had been marked with ghosts. This series of coincidences is so amazing that I love this ghostly city.

    Marikin Alley is located under a building in the old city of Edinburgh, which is equivalent to a narrow basement. More than 700 people used to live in this very narrow building. It was buried here after being killed by the plague. Now there are building models inside, which need guide's explanation to understand.

    This Mary King alley deliberately said that I have never been, such an ancient atmosphere of the image really let me have a feeling of crossing, and give us a particularly good aftertaste of the past time of the feeling of the hazy

    If you decide to play here, you'd better book time online, because there will be special guides to bring in, there will be time and number limitations. It takes about an hour to play. I didn't feel terrible. I just cooperated with the guide's explanation. I felt that the living environment of people in this place was dirty, smelly and pitiful. The living conditions were so bad that I could not complain about the outbreak of the Black Death.
