Activities: We went on a tour of the spooky underground tunnels of Edinburgh, learning about their history as homes and hiding places. We tried on medieval instruments of incarceration and explored the damp, dark passages by torchlight
Highlights: The kids loved the spooky stories and the chance to try on the medieval instruments. Lucy, our guide, was a wonderful storyteller, and we all enjoyed the atmosphere of the underground tunnels ✨
