Description
Edinburgh's underground world is a fascinating place to explore. This city has a rich and turbulent past, with many parts of its 'Underground City' on display to the public.
The Old Town ridge is home to hidden passages and cellars, including Mary King's Close, which was sealed up after an outbreak of plague. Other subterranean secrets can be found beneath the city's major bridges, such as North Bridge, South Bridge, and George IV Bridge, as well as in Gilmerton's Cove.
This book takes a tour of Edinburgh's underground history, revealing its hidden passageways, cellars, and tunnels. It will interest both locals who want to know more about their city's past and visitors looking for a unique insight into Scotland's capital.
