📖

Full description

The Edinburgh Dungeon is a roughly 70-minute walk-through of eleven scenes from the city's grimmer past, each led by costumed actors and supported by theatrical sets and effects. Visitors meet figures such as the accused witch Agnes Finnie and the Sawney Bean clan, and the experience ends with a ride.

It is closer to a piece of immersive theatre than a conventional historical walking tour, so expect performance and humour alongside the macabre. Reviewers praise the actors and note that it exceeded their expectations, including on repeat visits years apart.
