About
The Victorian county jail on St John Street in the Top of Town, now run as a visitor attraction with live performance tours, which start every 30 minutes, and escape rooms. Its own site tells the story: Frederick Hill, Scotland's first Inspector of Prisons, called the old Tolbooth jail 'the worst prison in Britain', and reformers pushed for this new county jail. The tours are billed as family friendly. The escape room gives you an hour to solve a crime and get out.

Tips
- →The jail's site says it opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00; confirm on the booking page, as prices are not shown on the home page.
- →It is a few steps from the Holy Rude and Cowane's Hospital, so it fits between them on a walk up to the castle.
