Edinburgh’s South Bridge Vaults
10th October 2025 by | Uncategorized
Beneath the South Bridge runs a honeycomb of rooms: once workshops, then stores, then slums where the city hid its overflow of hunger. Close your eyes and you can count the candles, hear the damp tick on limestone. Ghost tours speak of knocks and cold spots; history speaks louder — of lives pressed thin between stone and want. Sometimes the past does not need chains to rattle.
