Medical and Surgical History of Edinburgh - Private Walking Tour
Duration
4 to 5 hours
Overview
-
Let an Edinburgh doctor take you on a deep and fascinating trip into our medical and surgical history!
On this approximately five hour tour, we'll be circumnavigating the Old Town, visiting the sites and buildings where our medical history was forged, and learning how Edinburgh transformed from a sleepy outpost into a world-renowned powerhouse of medical training and research. We'll hear of student drudgery and drunkeness, of lightning-fast surgeons, and of the women who battled tirelessly to be the first to study medicine here. Not to mention scandals, feuds, and famous former Edinburgh medics such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Charles Darwin, and the man who became Dr Frankenstein!
