Hopping into the past at Edinburgh Dungeons
The 21st-century gets left in the rear view when you enter the Edinburgh Dungeon. Push open the door to the grand, ancient building, filled with a 1000 years of Scottish history, and immerse yourself in the grisly past of the nation.
Every moment of this 70-minute experience is action-packed. Hear eerie noises around you in the darkness and smell potent scents from the gloomy, medieval times as you begin your tour.
Pathways lined with blood guide you to the Torture Chamber, where an ominous, empty wooden chair awaits.
While you're there, discover the different metal torture tools used on unfortunate souls hundreds of years ago, while one of your friends gets locked up in a cell beside you. Hear the loud, squeaky gate shutting as they cry for help!
Watch out! Someone's hungry...
Turn the corner to move on to the Cannibal's Cave where you'll be led to meet Sawney Bean's family. Stand in the centre of the room and stick tight to your group as there'll be plenty of 16th-century cannibals, skin covered in blood, trying to reach you.
If you dodge their filthy hands, you might just avoid ending up as their supper!
Try to keep your cool
To escape the dungeons, you'll have to find your way out of the mirror maze.
You'll be sure to jump at the sudden screams around you as you go around in circles, accompanied by six reflections of everything, including yourself.
Down, down, down we go
Feel the spray of water hit your face when you strap into the Drop Dead ride. You'll be clinging hard to the handle and hearing everyone's screams around you as you face the drop at the Grassmarket Gallows.
