Edinburgh Dungeon, Interactive horror museum in Market Street, Edinburgh, Scotland
The Edinburgh Dungeon presents exhibits about Scottish history through theatrical shows, rides, and performances by professional actors in underground chambers.
The venue recreates events from medieval Scotland, including encounters with Burke and Hare, who murdered civilians to sell bodies to medical schools in 1828.
Performers in period costumes tell stories about witch trials, plagues, and local legends that shaped Scottish society during the darker periods of history.
The attraction stands near Waverley Station, operates daily except December 25th, and requires advance booking with tickets starting from 18 pounds per adult.
The underground chambers contain a vertical drop ride that simulates the execution experience while actors narrate tales of medieval criminal punishment methods.
