The Real Mary Kings Close

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Hidden beneath the Royal Mile lies Edinburgh's deepest secret; a warren of hidden 'closes' where real people lived, worked and died. For centuries they have lain forgotten and abandoned.. until now.
Please come and visit us at The Real Mary King's Close or during our Ghost Fest !
