Overview
On now Permanent access
A permanent display in the Blair Street Underground Vaults, a space in Edinburgh's Old Town where a guided visit traces the history of the vaults beneath the city streets.
The Blair Street Underground Vaults are presented here as a permanent display of Edinburgh's underground past. The visit is led by a guide who takes visitors through the lanes of the Old Town before going down into the vaults themselves.
Along the route, the guide relates documented accounts of theft, violence and hard living conditions, in a place that once sheltered criminals and the very poor. The stories are drawn from the city's history, and the visit uses no staged effects or scares.
Visitors may note the cold spots and sudden silences that have long given the vaults their reputation for unexplained sounds. The display suits those curious about the everyday lives of Edinburgh's past and about why the vaults are still discussed today.
