About Surgeons' Hall Museums
Edinburgh's surgical history from the 18th-century anatomy trade to modern surgery, housed in the Royal College of Surgeons building on Nicolson Street. The pathology collection is historically significant but not for the squeamish. Entry GBP 7.
Insider Tips
The Burke and Hare section includes a pocketbook made from Burke's skin after his execution. Visit midweek when university students aren't around for a quieter experience.
