When I was asked recently if I fancied popping along to Edinburgh Dungeons
I absolutely jumped at the chance. I LOVE all things scary (we're
currently watching 'Would You Rather' on NetFlix) so couldn't wait to
sample the guts, ghosts and gore of Auld Reekie.
Being
a local I have been to the Dungeons before but it was a very, very long
time ago so I was looking forward to seeing how much it had changed. I
wasn't disappointed. From the first few steps inside I was feeling a
little nervous. The ambience, the creepy music, the decor, all
fantastic.
The tour was filled with Scottish history, from Burke & Hare to William Wallace, the Cannibalistic Bean family and much, much more.
I
don't want to give too much away, there were certainly more than a
couple of jumps & screams from our group, myself & Jamie
included and you have to go in with an open mind because they do pick on
members of the audience. Jamie ended up in front of the judge and one
of Sawney Beans creepy-as sons wanted me to be his girlfriend. It was a
great laugh. The staff were fantastic and it's definitely something I'd
recommend.
Our whole tour lasted about 1.5hrs and with tickets costing from just £9.50 for kids and £10.95 for adults (online pre-booking), there's also special offers for Family and Group tickets - it's definitely worth it.
After
the tour you do have an opportunity to buy some pictures that are taken
of you during the tour. We got a picture from the final part of tour,
the Drop Dead, it wasn't the most flattering of me but I think it captured exactly how I felt.
Maybe
if enough of you lovely people click through to the Dungeons link I'll
share it with you all. Until then it's staying safely on the fridge.

I was given two free tickets for the purpose of reviewing the Edinburgh
Dungeons. All views are my own and all reviews are 100% honest.
