Avoid the queues by advance booking fast track tickets to The Edinburgh Dungeon.
Deep in the heart of Scotland, buried beneath the paving stones of Edinburgh, lies the world's most chillingly famous horror attraction. Step through its imposing portal and you are at once transported to the darker, sinister side of Scotland's turbulent and troubled past.
Terror and torture, mutilation and mass murder, persecution and pestilence: scenes from the more terrible chapters of centuries of Scottish history envelop you in all their grisly and gruesome detail.
Witch-hunters, grave-robbers, murderers, cannibals, executioners - you will find them all here, along with their wretched victims. And remember, as you wander further into the Dungeon's grim and bloody depths, all that you see and experience really happened - much of it disconcertingly close by. In these deep shadows and dark caverns, it's wise to keep your wits about you. Some of the dead have an unnerving habit of coming back to life...
PLEASE NOTE: Advance purchase ticket prices available online may be less than those at the attraction on the day
