'Til Death Do Us Part Valentine's Tour
February 2015
Who said love was dead? In celebration of the feast of Saint Valentine, The Real Mary King's Close is offering a special Valentines evening tour where guests can get up close and personal with their loved ones under the cobbled streets of Edinburgh's historic Royal Mile and enjoy a glass of Prosecco and chocolates. Visitors will discover Mary King's Close and the surrounding housing and streets which lie frozen in time as they learn about these 16th century closes that were once bustling and thriving with life and love. New found romances were round every corner, money was exchanged for wedding vows and murder was always on the horizon. From the story of Alexander Cant, a prominent merchant burgess who was murdered in his townhouse by his wife and mother-in-law, to tales of the witch pricker, always on the lookout for unfaithful women, guests can expect to hear about the darker aspects of love. As they stop in to meet the Craig family who are suffering from the plague, they will learn that this family's only hope of staying together lies in the hands of plague doctor George Rae. For one night only at 21.30hrs on February 14th, this event is the first of its kind to be held on the Close and promises to give guests a historical insight into what life and romance in Old Edinburgh was really like. Craig Miller, General Manager, The Real Mary King's Close comments: "Whether single and wanting a great night out with friends or in a couple and looking for a date with a difference Our 'Til Death Do Us Part Tour will certainly be a Valentine's night to remember."
