[Surgeons' Hall Museums] |
The Surgeons' Hall Museums on the south side of Edinburgh's Old Town has roots stretching back to 1505. The collection of bone and tissue specimens began life as a teaching resource for local medical students, finally opening to the public in 1832. Even a decade ago this was a fairly niche tourist site, and even now, grisly bodily curiosities aren't to every taste; a major redevelopment in 2014 nevertheless helped transform the museum into a relatively popular attraction, encompassing what is now one of the UK's biggest pathology collections.
