Edinburgh’s Disused Tunnels Scotland Street, Rodney Street and Trinity Gcat's Urbex Site. A long-disused railway tunnel which runs beneath the New Town of Edinburgh, Scotland Street Tunnel was constructed in 1847 by engineers Thomas Grainger (1794 - 1852) and John Miller (1805-83) to serve a line which connected Canal Street Station on Princes Street with Granton Harbour. During the Second World War, the tunnel was returned to funtionality, acting as an air-raid shelter for 3,000 residents of central Edinburgh and the London & North Eastern Railway's emergency headquarters and command centre.
