The Real Mary King's Close

The Real Mary King's Close is a guided journey into preserved streets beneath Edinburgh's later buildings, with everyday lives providing the story. A costumed character guide brings the setting into focus without making the experience interchangeable with every ghost tour in the city.

Book the signature guided tour and allow one to two hours including arrival and check-in at Warriston's Close off the Royal Mile. Follow the guide through the retained spaces; specialist medicine experiences, dining events and overground combinations are different products with their own running times.

Children must be at least five. Check the accessibility requirements before reserving. Underground steps, enclosed spaces and the subject matter may not suit every child or traveller, and this is not an independently accessible passageway. Arrive for your confirmed time and keep the booking instructions available, since general city directions do not replace the correct entrance.
