About

Your Experience at The Edinburgh Dungeon

Descend Into Edinburgh’s Haunting Past

Begin your Edinburgh adventure by stepping below the city's bustling streets into the chilling world of The Edinburgh Dungeon. For 70 minutes, expert actors lead you through sets that recreate grisly chapters in Scotland’s history, immersing you in candlelit gloom and spooky tales from centuries past.

Meet Notorious Figures & Relive Dark Tales

Journey through atmospheric corridors and eerie chambers filled with special effects. Encounter infamous characters such as the cannibal Sawney Bean, notorious for preying on unwary travelers, and Agnes Finnie, whose reputation as a witch has fed ghost stories for generations. Each stop draws you deeper into real accounts of Edinburgh’s haunted legacy, blending humour and horror for a uniquely Scottish experience.

Interactive Shows & Immersive Storytelling

Live performers enact true stories, drawing you into the notorious world of torture devices and crime, while innovative special effects heighten the realism. Escape a twisting mirror maze if you can and steel your nerves for the Dungeon’s drop ride, which delivers a heart-pounding plunge into darkness that no visitor forgets.

  • Live shows create dramatic encounters using sound, light and historical sets

  • See notorious locations like the Torture Chamber and Judge’s Courtroom

  • Interact with Scotland’s legends—if you dare

Uncover Edinburgh’s Hidden Secrets

Beyond the scares, discover curious facts about the city’s past. The Dungeon lies next to Mary King’s Close, rumoured for its own centuries-old hauntings and stories from the time of the plague. It's a one-of-a-kind setting where history and entertainment intersect for an unforgettable day out.

  • Perfect for families, groups or thrill-seekers wanting a fresh look at Scotland’s capital

  • Educational, interactive and filled with unexpected moments of laughter and fright
