Discover Hidden History at The Real Mary King's Close
The Real Mary King's Close is a historic underground street located on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland. In the past, commoners were not allowed to use the roads used by nobles, so they created roads in the lower terrain of the Royal Mile. This street was closed in the 17th century during the plague and was reopened in 2003 after being buried for 400 years.
