A Haunting History

Established in 1847, Stirling Old Town Jail was a pioneering institution in prison reform. Designed by architect Thomas Brown, it implemented the Separate System devised by William Brebner, focusing on inmate rehabilitation through education and labour. Despite its noble intentions, the jail bore witness to countless tales of hardship and despair.

Overcrowding and budget cuts led to harsh conditions, with multiple inmates sharing cells and enduring strict discipline. In 1888, the facility transitioned into a military prison for Scottish regiments, operating until its closure in 1935. The building then served various purposes before its restoration and reopening as a visitor attraction in 2015.

Now, paranormal investigators and thrill-seekers have the opportunity to step inside this eerie location for a ghost hunting Scotland adventure like no other.

A Fantastic day out

The escape room was great and the matron who helped us was also lovely. We have done a few escape rooms and we really liked the story aspect of this one. There were also a lot of fun and interesting puzzles during the game.
