What You Can Expect
Walking Tour of Edinburgh - Walking The Vaults
As well as lack of natural light, the Vaults suffered from water seeping from the South Bridge above, stalactites are evidence of this.
But, there was a darker side too. To the immediate south stands Infirmary Street, where Edinburgh's medical school used to be. It was here that the notorious pair, Burke and Hare, sold the bodies of their murdered victims. Could the vaults have stored a different sort of merchandise?
