About Edinburgh Dungeon
Live and breathe the ultimate underground journey through Edinburgh's darkest history! Live actors and thrilling rides bring the city's past to life!
Edinburgh Dungeon Description
The Edinburgh Dungeon is a uniquely thrilling attraction that'll take you back to the past's most horrible bits. See, hear, smell and feel the city’s darkest stories as they come to life before your eyes.
As you are taken back in time, you’ll come face-to-face with frighteningly funny characters, from Torturers and Judges to local legends including the cannibal clan of Sawney Bean and infamous murderous twosome Burke and Hare. Explore surroundings like the plague-ravaged Street of Sorrows, the Anatomy Theatre of Dr Knox and the mysterious Old Craig House where a spine-chilling ghostly presence resides. As you listen to their stories, you'll feel yourself drawn into another world, where the boundaries between reality and the past blur.
Be warned - as you make your way through the Dungeon, surprises are lurking in the darkness and will keep your senses on high alert as you anticipate what's waiting around the next corner…
Reviews
The Battle of Falkirk might have been 720 years ago this week, but William Wallace - aka Braveheart - is still feeling the sting of his defeat at the hands of the English. He went on a wee trip on his own Edinburgh Trams tram up to Edinburgh Airport on Tuesday to heckle the English weekenders, check their passports and tickets and give them a rowdy warrior's welcome. Thankfully he kept his pants on under his kilt on this occasion.
Join the Secret Society of Scottish Scoundrels and investigate the shocking murder of Judge Mental. As you move through the Dungeon, the sinister story will unfold around you. Keep your wits about you as you encounter famous characters from Scotland’s past – no one is above suspicion. Was it the cannibals in the courtroom with a candlestick? It’s up to you and your companions to solve this most heinous of crimes.
Braveheart is out on the trams today. Have you spotted him?

People of Scotland! The Donald is heading our way this weekend and it's time to run for cover (to the Dungeon!!) Whilst his face might be oompa loompa nuclear, we know that not all things orange are bad. As such we have a special treat for our orange headed friends out there! Free entry on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th July 2018 (strawberry blondes at jailer's discretion - subject to availability)

RATAN IBRAHIMOVIC IS BACK! Today he is predicting the outcome of England vs Sweden, hold on to your cheeses! Will Ratan be spot on? Who do you think will win?
We've discovered one of our lovely rats is a dab hand at predicting the World Cup results - we've decided to share his talents with the world. Here he is - "Rat-an Ibrahimovic", direct from Emirats Stadium (see what we did there?!) with the predictions for today's Quarter Final France vs Uruguay game. What do you reckon, is he right? Will his oracle skills prevail?
He's not shouting "FREEDOOOOM!", he's shouting "COME ON COLOMBIA!!!" #worldcup
Sun's out, plague-ridden guns out! Who was BBQ-ing in the park this weekend? Dr Rae was getting some air on the scabs as he enjoyed a lovely lolly in Princes Street Gardens. #nomnom

A little bird told us our so-called friends (whatever!) at York Dungeon have BANNED THE SCOTTISH from entering their grimy pit of doom today! Well they picked the wrong Scots to mess with!
