Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: The ancient prison once held many important figures in Scottish history, and graffiti from the 18th century can still be seen on the walls. The smallest cell in the prison is only 1.2 square meters, a compact space that lets visitors feel the life of prisoners back then.
Punti salienti: The cells retain handcrafted iron bars and original wooden doors, rough and cold to the touch, as if you can hear the prisoners whispering. Every winter, a historical play reenactment is held, with actors stepping back into the daily life of an 18th-century prison. The atmosphere is vivid and captivating.
Consigli da insider
- Wear comfortable, non-slip shoes as the prison stairs are narrow and the stone steps are slippery.
- The lighting inside the cells is dim. Bring a flashlight to help see the details.
- Winter visits offer the chance to experience the historical play, which should not be missed.
- Avoid the afternoon peak crowd and it is better to enter when the doors open.
