What Really Happened Beneath the Streets of Edinburgh’s Old Town?

Step off the beaten path with a Mystery Guides treasure hunt adventure, where every street and alley hides a puzzle waiting to be solved… 

Beneath the cheerful sound of bagpipes and the bustle of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, a darker world lies sleeping. The Old Town’s cobbled streets have seen it all, but the most chilling tales are buried deep underground. 

Have you ever wondered what really happened down there and who, or what, still lurks in the shadows?

Mystery Guides Explore Edinburgh’s Old Town

For centuries, Edinburgh’s Old Town was a packed and overcrowded place. To cope, the city grew downwards, creating a network of underground vaults and streets, like the infamous Mary King's Close. These were once vibrant places of work and homes for the city's most poorest of residents. 

But over time, they became dens for dodgy criminals, plagued by ghastly disease and eventually, were sealed off and abandoned... 

Legends of poor plague victims, ghostly apparitions, and unspeakable deeds have clung to these subterranean spaces ever since, creating a legacy that would send a shiver down anyone’s spine…
