This half-term The Real Mary King's Close in Edinburgh is offering special lantern-led tours.
Intrigued by the prospect of a creepily lit tour of one of the capital's most fascinating tourist attractions- I had to head down and see for myself.
Having lived in Edinburgh my whole life, I am reasonably well-versed in the history of Mary King's Close but was looking forward to learning more about the stories of some of its residents.
