The Edinburgh Dungeon
The Edinburgh Dungeon, run by Merlin Entertainment, is not a traditional haunted location such as those used by many of the underground ghost tours but a modern tourist attraction.
The entrance is located on Market Street, on the crossroads with Cockburn Street - just a short walk from Waverley Station.
