The banshee labyrinth

It was in these former slums that many poor and innocent met a very grisly end! Ironically right next door, the front of the club; was once home to one of the richest men in Edinburgh, Lord Nicol Edwards. When refurbishing the venue a group of workmen the banshee labyrinth they all heard a terrifying scream.

Formerly the Nicol Edwards pub and nestled next to dive-club superstar The Hive, this sprawling subterranean vault has had a grizzly and gruesome makeover as The Banshee Labyrinth. It is made up of seven rooms, three bars, two jukeboxes, an underground dancefloor and a huge helping of of scintillatingly sinister alt-music. Take the right path through the catacombs and you might be lucky enough to end up in the Labyrinth's very own free! And, If your appetite hasn't quite been spooked out of you, perhaps you can sample a hotdog or some popcorn from the selection of movie grub they've got on offer. With its particularly reasonable room hire pricing, local bands and clubs can get involved without the woes of petrifying price tag, meaning there's usually something quirky going on any week of the year. And - because what self-respecting underground cavern is complete without some sort of fetish vibe - you can look forward some pretty raunchy events too.

The location of the Labyrinth is thought to be the explanation behind its many supernatural stories. The pub is also right next to the site where the home of wealthy aristocrat Lord Nichol Edwards once stood. Living in the time of King James in the s, legend has it that the evil Lord Nichol was a strong believer in witchcraft, and used to bring women that he suspected of being witches back to his home to torture them. The disgruntled ghosts of some of these women are said to have stuck around - including the banshee from whom the Labyrinth took its name. This banshee, a spirit whose cries are said to foreshadow the death of a loved one, is believed by some to be one of the women that Lord Nichol tortured. The story goes that he saw a woman in a grey dress sobbing into her hands, who lifted her head to reveal a pale, gaunt face with rotted teeth and no eyes.
