Good evening, This is Genial from Edinburgh travel agency. As you are here
traveling around the Edinburgh city, I’d like to introduce you a spot that you
don’t want to miss.
Do you know that Edinburgh is a rebuilt city? And the original one is lying
under the ground now? Mary King's Close is said to be one of Scotland's most
haunted area, and one of the oldest streets now available for the public to
view.
The inhabitants who lived in Mary King's Close were poor, and illness was rife.
Which was plague. During the time when the Black Death raged in Britain,
Scotland lost over a quarter of its population to the disease.
It cost only £10 to enter a real city in 17th century. And you will have a special
tour guide with you during whole journey. Our tour guide who dressed in
historical costume, will introduce each areas by telling stories. Those stories
are kind of sad, interesting and scary.
The most famous story is about the ghost of 10-year-old girl, Annie, who died
of the plague. (Some people claimed that the temperature changes when they
entering her room.) You can sure bring Annie some dolls and toys.
Mary King's Close is great from a historical point of view. Walking through the
dark ancient street, looking inside the unchanged homes, imagining the poor
people who had lived in here, and how their lives were, was so fascinating.
Ghosts aside, Mary King's Close is an excellent historical tour of a forgotten
age.
If you have any chance to visit Edinburgh, you won't want to miss the real
history down beneath the ground.
Thank you for your patience, and if you do like to visit Mary King’s Close,

soon. Bye.
