The Lost Close
The Lost Close is based in Edinburgh, Lothian, and offers a professional and friendly team to help you have a great time and enjoy the experiences available.
During the renovation works of CoDE Hostels a hidden basement was found under all the rubble from the fire nearly 200 years before.
In the old maps we can see Closes, living quarters, taverns and even the Royal Bank. Steil's Close regulary features in the maps pre-1824 and disappears thereafter. This is the same with Royal Bank Close and Hangman's Close. They all led into Old Fishmarket Close which still stands today.
We can't say for definite which Close we have but we can say it is a Close... why? It has gradual steps down on foundation stone and leads to a clear arch for those to walk throught towards Old Fishmarket Close

Gin! Hosted in our unique underground venue, The Lost Close, this underground gin tasting is an adventure through the history of gin and its connections in Scotland.
You'll sample 4 very different gins, with different tonics and garnishes so you can mix it to your own tastes, each one tied in to the stories that our expert guides will recount.
Over the course of 60 minutes, you'll learn about the process of creating gin, and the story behind how it came to be one of the most popular spirits enjoyed across the world today.
