Mary King's Close
Watch out for shouts of “Garde Loo!”
You’ll meet the Foul Clenger – or plague cleaner - as they tell you the true story of Edinburgh’s most famous plague close. You’ll learn how to spot the signs of plague – so look out for itches in your sweaty bits, or buboes on your pits. Is that just a cough you say? Too late, you’ll be locked away!

- What was life really like in a 17th century Edinburgh close?
- How did the Foul Clenger tackle the plague?
- What will it take to get you out of quarantine?
DUNGEONS UNCOVERED
