Mary King’s Close

Now that you’re in the heart of Mary King’s Close, the Royal Mile is directly above your head.

Modern Edinburgh was built directly above the old Edinburgh, so there are some other ways into the under-city just like this one.

Since the 17^th century, Mary King’s Close has been noted for its frequent hauntings. However, many attribute this to the gas, which would leak into the Close and cause hallucinations.

Thankfully, there is no need to worry about that today.
