The Lost Close

You're walking through the cobbled streets of the Old Town when you descend into another world entirely. The Lost Close takes you beneath the surface to explore the remarkably preserved remains of a 17th-century tenement building, buried underground for centuries. It's part archaeology, part theatre—interactive displays and period reconstructions bring the lives of ordinary Edinburghers to vivid life, from the plague victims to the families who called these cramped spaces home. This isn't your typical museum experience; it feels genuinely eerie and revelatory.
