Taste of cannibal tale at cave

LEGENDARY Scottish cannibal Sawney Bean is to be celebrated at a gory tourist attraction with a new £100,000 cave.

Bean is said to have been head of an incestuous cannibalistic family that oversaw a 25-year reign of murder and robbery from a hidden sea cave on the Ayrshire coast during the 15th century.

The family is said to have butchered and eaten more than 100 victims before being captured by King James I himself and burned alive.

Their cave is to be recreated in a chilling new feature to open at the Edinburgh Dungeon on February 12.

Manager Alex Blackman said: "Visitors will have to carefully negotiate the remains of earlier hunting parties."
