Haha! I have every intention of coming back Alisa!
I have to-I booked my ticket!!
Dawn - this is just ONE of the weird, ghostly places they have in Edinburgh. They also have tours of underground vaults which were inhabited in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Edinburgh was so overcrowded and not enough dwelling places for people to live, that many of the poor and the 'weird' went underground. Some people lived all or most of their lives in darkness with the only lighting coming from oil lamps or candles. Stories of plague, child abuse, squalor, misery, murder,abound. Even the infamous 'body snatchers' Burke and Hare walked and 'worked' down there collecting the 'bodies', which they delivered to doctors(so they could disect and understand the human anatomy). These two men went from grave robbing the corpses of freshly dead people to the murdering of people - for material gain - as the story goes. So all in all not a very nice place to have lived...or even visit on a tour!
Then there is Infamous Edinburgh Castle..and Mary King's close..
