o on Monday Edinburgh Dungeons had a free promotion to promoted a new part of their experience, I managed to grab a few pics before being told to turn of the camera, we had to turn off phones at start, but they never mentioned cameras!
Anyway, I had never been before so didn't know what to expect.
You are transported around the lower reaches of Market street though a series of rooms, each has a different actor , among them a "Hanging Judge, a Witch and an Anatomist from the 18th century University of Edinburgh's Medical School. The usual 2scary" experiences brought screams and laughter, one bairn got such a fright she grabbed hold of her father in fear and looked ready to burst in to tears, so, while the show wasn't scary to me, if your bairn is a wee bit sensitive, perhaps it's not advised to take them along.
At £18.50 I would say it is worth the money, it taes over and hour to get through the show, there is an experience you can get your photos with various weapons at the start and pic it up on the way out, all included in the price. They do a late, adults only show, which they say "is not for the faint hearted, it costs £27.50, they also have a combi ticket with an Edinburgh bus tour included, it costs £37.95, which some might balk at, but the prices are all relevant and in line with other cities around the British Isles, so I recommend it if you like dramatic theatrical things with a fair bit comedy thrown in.
