The Real Mary King’s Close

Awarded as one of the UKs top tourist attractions.
In 1753 the Town Council of Edinburgh decided to build a new Royal Exchange (now the City Chambers) and to do so they simply built over the top of existing streets and houses, because they were all made of stone. One of those streets was Mary King’s Close which in its day was a bustling hub of markets and activity.
For hundreds of years these streets laid practically untouched, preserving them for today.
A fascinating tour and explanation of the history.
Unfortunately it does look like Lyn contracted the Plague.Läs mer
