The Edinburgh Dungeon

Overview

Exciting, scary and fun – delve into Scotland’s bloody history at the Edinburgh Dungeon. We know that when it comes to history – the horrible bits are the best. Experience live actors, dark history, thrilling rides and special effects… are you brave enough to face 80 minutes of Scotland’s most dramatic past?
Prepare to face the most notorious characters from Scotland’s history, including murderous twosome Burke and Hare and local legend Sawney Bean. Feel the shadow of the black plague and the fearsome torture chamber.
Plus, with two thrilling rides, there is something for the whole family: an underground boat ride and the ever popular Extremis Drop Ride.
Enter the world of The Dungeons and take a journey with twists, turns, screams and laughter – a fun day out, unlike any other.
