Edinburgh Dungeon

31 Market Street
Edinburgh
Lothian
EH1 1QB


The Edinburgh Dungeon invites you to a feast of fun with history's horrible bits. Live actors, an errie ride, shows and special effects transport you back to those black, bleak times. Are you brave enough?

You'll be exposed to torture, witchcraft, grave robbing, the plague, cannibalism and of course murder! Your journey into the dungeon begins in a 17th century court of law where an eccentric judge will haul you into the dock! Visitors are accused of a range of heinous crimes where the verdict is always 'guilty' and the punishment is always harsh!

A scary new Ghost feature is coming to the Edinburgh Dungeon from Easter 2007! Will you hold your nerve as you enter the paranormal world and be confronted by a vengeful ghostly presence…or will it leave you paralysed with fear?

With all this and more, the Edinburgh Dungeon is the scariest attraction in Scotland, where you're never quite sure what's behind you and things have a nasty habit of coming back to life!

The Dungeon is not recommended for those of a nervous disposition or young children. Children under 15 must be accompanied by an adult.
