Kieran - Exploring Scotland

The Real Mary King's Close in Edinburgh is like stepping into a time machine that takes you back to the 17th century. It's an underground warren of streets where you can explore hidden rooms and hear fascinating stories about the people who lived there. From plague epidemics to royal visits, it's a unique glimpse into Edinburgh's dark past. Plus, they even have a quirky Medical History Tour where you can learn about old-school medicine practices...like tasting urine samples! So, if you're into history and a bit of the bizarre, this place is definitely worth checking out.
