Mary kings close
We have just finished our tour at Mary Kings Close, Edinburgh. It is found on the High Street. The opening hours are from 1000-1700 on Sunday to Thursday and 1000-2100 on Friday and Saturday. The tour lasts one hour and costs:
Child = 7.95 (can not permit under 5 years old)
Adult = 12.95
The tour tells you about what it was like hundreds of years ago in Edinburgh and in the Close which is still preserved as it looked 400 years ago. The guide tells you about how people survived in these cramped, unhygienic conditions. In the tour you also see the way the houses are made and I thought they look a lot more like Caves than homes.
I thought the tour was OK but it was not scary.
