If you're looking to visit one of Edinburgh's most haunted spots, it's no secret that the Real Mary King's Close should probably be on your list.
Buried under the city we know and love today, the now tourist attraction was once a dark and damp street in the Old Edinburgh, before it was built on top of. Surviving for hundreds of years, the spooky tours take you down through the city's past, but now the attraction has launched a new take on the experience, and it's mixed with gin.
Teaming up with Edinburgh Gin, we headed down to try the new tasting and tour, which is set to teach you all about how the botanicals used in today's tipples are actually very intertwined with the capital's dark history. Arriving with our group, we were quickly introduced to our fantastic guide who got started straight away on explaining his character as a 16th-century merchant.
