Mary kings close

The Mary Kings Close tour was OK. I didn't really enjoy it that much but I did find a lot out that I never knew. For example, there was a doctor who lived in the Close 400 years ago that tested people for illnesses by tasting their urine! I found that quite disturbing but never knew that people though you could do medicine like that. It costs £12.95 for one adult which I think was very dear considering it didn't feel like it lasted that long. I also found it quite scary in parts with some of the information that was told. For example, at one point we were all sitting in pitch black and listening to a ghost story in a small room well under the city streets! I think the tour would appeal more to tourists because most Edinburgh people would already know most of the information. At the same time it's good for Edinburgh people too because we may have heard the stories but never seen the real life location. I found the part were we saw models of children/people dying from the plague very disturbing as I don't really like things like that. I am now sitting in a café attached to Garfunkels restaurant just up from Mary Kings Close drinking my hot chocolate which is very nice and hot.

My score out of a hundred for the scariness of this attraction is 80.
