REAL STREETS…
REAL PEOPLE...
REAL HISTORY…

Hidden beneath the Royal Mile lies Edinburgh’s deepest secret: a warren of hidden ‘closes’ where real people lived, worked and died.  For centuries they have lain forgotten and abandoned…

Until Now…

Don’t miss this opportunity to visit Edinburgh’s most famous Close where you will experience the sights, sounds and maybe even smells of an amazing street that time forgot.  Where everyday people went about their day to day lives and where you can now walk in their footsteps.  Perhaps you'll even get to meet them…
