Embark on a thrilling journey through time as you descend into the Edinburgh Dungeon. Your 70-minute, actor-led adventure begins with a visit to the gruesome pair, Burke and Hare, whose morbid dealings with corpses provided Dr. Knox with material for his notorious anatomy lectures. As you traverse the murky underbelly of the city, you’ll encounter the dreaded cannibal Sawney Bean and the infamous witch Agnes Finnie. The Dungeon’s live actors, combined with the immersive sets and special effects, bring these chilling tales to life, making you part of the city's macabre history.
Prepare for chills and thrills as you confront the horrors of the black plague and navigate the terrifying torture chamber. But it's not all screams; the Dungeon’s unique blend of fear and fun is peppered with Scottish humor, ensuring pockets of laughter amidst the scares. Challenge your nerve at the thrilling drop ride with a vertical free fall and the perplexing mirror maze. End your journey with a visit to Loch Leven Castle, where the spirit of Mary Queen of Scots is said to still roam the corridors.
