text: I am well hard but Edinburgh Dungeon is genuinely terrifying The actors are fantastic and the sets and props as gory as you can stomach What is most disturbing though is that all the different attractions are based on real events that took place in and around Edinburgh nnThe Anatomy Theatre tells the story of medical autopsies in Edinburgh in the s and how a shortage of bodies led to a couple of unsavory characters doing despicable things to up the death rate nnThe Extremis Drop Ride is based on the hangings which used to take place at Grassmarket and was a bit too much for my delicate nature but if you like scary rides which make you want to be sick then you will love it nnMary Kings Close is where hundreds of plague victims were left to rot in Edinburgh in the s Mary King apparently haunts the close seeking revenge and the Edinburgh Dungeon team has got this section disturbingly accurate right down to the smell of rotting flesh yuck nnThere is a boat ride called the Cave of Sawney Bean Sawney Bean was a mass murdering cannibal who killed travelers in order to feed his family of the family being so large due to numerous incestuous relationships lovely Eventually the family was caught after they had killed over people The men of the family had their limbs hacked off and were left to bleed to death where as the women and children were burned alive double lovelyn nThere is also a William Wallace section where you hear his infamous story told by one of his followers I am sure you all know the story but it is great to see it brought to life in all the gory detail freeeeeedooooomnnAll in all the Edinburgh Dungeon is a great day out if you like being scared shitless
