ISEH 2022: Come and Join Us in Edinburgh!
Mary King’s Close, Old Town: Over the centuries, Edinburgh was built further up on top of old streets and buildings, many of which still exist as an underground city. Through Mary King’s Close, part of the underground city can be accessed in guided tours that take you along buried cobblestone streets into former houses and shops and give you a fantastic insight into Edinburgh’s history.
