TRON SQUARE

Tron Square itself is a handsome, historic development dating from around 1900 – originally built as tiered housing for local workmen, and one of the first of its kind to feature deck access. Today it forms a quiet, characterful enclave in the middle of one of Europe’s most visited city centres. Both the Royal Mile and the Cowgate have direct entrances to the square.

The Real Mary Kings Close

THE REAL MARY KINGS CLOSE

Step down into Edinburgh’s hidden history. The Real Mary Kings Close, is a warren of underground streets and spaces underneath the slopes of the Royal Mile. The Close can be a strange concept to understand. Back in the 1600’s, Mary King’s Close and other neighbouring Closes were at the heart of Edinburgh’s busiest and most vibrant streets; open to the skies and bustling with traders selling their wares to the Old Town’s residents. Why would this street find itself underground 400 years later?
