A History of Medicine in Edinburgh

Discover the move from at home remedies to professional care and how Edinburgh itself has had a long and rich history with medical advancements – even if they haven’t always been legal or morally correct. A Medical Tale brings to light Edinburgh’s Old Town disrepair, the advancement or surgeons and even The Black Death!

This tour lasts approximately 1 hour and will transport you back in time.
