Terrible Tales from the Castle (Horrible Histories)
Tours cost £10/£8 Concession
Family (1 adult & up to 3 children)
Lauriston castle was built in 1590, during a turbulent time in Scottish history. Join us to find out why Henry V111 sent his troops to burn down the original tower house and look for a secret staircase leading to a hidden chamber! Could this be a spy hole? You will also discover some of the less glamourous – in fact really quite gory– aspects of working in a castle in the days before modern plumbing. At the end of the tour there will be an opportunity for some hands-on activities in the Maids’ Hall. Be prepared to get your hands dirty!
This event is suitable for guests of all ages who are lovers of the Horrible Histories series which has inspired this tour!
