This labyrinth of tunnels under the bridge was completed in the 18th century and was once used to house taverns and other activities of questionable integrity. Before you enter the “vaults” you are warned of the potential health risk, due to a high number of reported attacks on visitors each day and it being well known as the most active in the UK for paranormal events. The history of the vaults are a bit vague, but it is known that they are 1 of 3 vaults beneath Edinburgh, St. Mary Street and Blair Street being the other two. The living conditions, at the time originally built, beneath the ground, as you could imagine, would be rather horrific with no natural lighting, over crowed and cramped, damp and nonexistent sanitation. Crimes such as robbery and murder were sky high at the time it was used. The vaults were eventually abandoned in around 1875 after almost 100 years of use. The vaults were reopened in 1990s to Auld Reekie Ghost Tours and an active witches’ coven.

Edinburgh has a hidden underworld to which the castle is very much a part of, and secret tunnels that are said to lead to the palace at the end of the Royal Mile. When the tunnels where first discovered, a lone piper was sent down to see just how far they went. A crowd gathered and listened to the piper’s bagpipe sound until the music suddenly stopped. A search party was sent down to find the piper but there was no trace of him, it was as if he had vanished into the pits of hell. The ghostly sounds of the bag pipes can be heard today and the piper has been sighted within the castle and around the battlements.
