Celebrating Excellence – Real Mary King’s Close Wins Prestigious TripAdvisor Award


tripavisor-certificate-of-excellence-2014

At the Real Mary King's Close, we have always thought our visitor attraction was something a bit special. We strive to create a portal into a darker corner of Edinburgh's history, where visitors can lose themselves in an alternative world of poverty and in cases, crime. We enjoy portraying the characters and experiences of historic Edinburgh for our thousands of visitors each year. That is why we are so proud to have received a Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor®, the world’s largest travel advice website.

Certificate of Excellence

The Certificate of Excellence is awarded to visitor attractions all over the world that meet a series of strict criteria regarding user experience, authenticity, value for money and accessibility. Winners represent the top ten percent of TripAdvisor listings. We accept this award as an endorsement of the hard work our team have put into the Real Mary King’s Close since we opened in 2003, as well as of the tireless support given to us by the Visit Scotland and the countless guests who have visited us over the years. So, to everyone who has visited us and thus made this award possible, we extend a big thank you. For those of you who haven’t visited us yet, we invite you to come along and see what the fuss is all about. With four hundred years of Scottish history at your fingertips, you are certain to be not disappointed.

Part of the Continuum

The Real Mary King's Close is part of Continuum Leading Attractions, a great company that runs other historic visitor attractions throughout the UK. These include the York Chocolate Story, Oxford Castle Unlocked, Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth and Kent Life Heritage Farm in Maidstone, Kent. If you are on your travels and happen to be near one of our sister attractions, then take it from us – they are well worth a visit.

Of course, a Certificate of Excellence does not mean that we are now going to rest on our laurels; far from it. There are always new events, displays and features in the pipeline to develop and grow our visitor experience.  Our overriding priority has always been to create an immersive, exciting and historically accurate experience for all our visitors that does justice to the men and women that made Edinburgh what it is today. Come and visit us soon. We look forward to welcoming you to the Real Mary King’s Close.
