This beautiful columned building dating from 1832 houses Scotland's largest museum of medical science. We owe his emergence to the architect William Playfair, also father of the National Gallery of Scotland, who was a great collector of utensils related to medicine. Surgical instruments, cabinet of curiosities, pathological specimens, odontological exhibition: the immersion in the history of the treatment and exploration of the human body is impressive.

L'info en + Petit Futé: The museum offers a guided walk on the theme "Blood and guts". It is an invitation to discover the history of medicine in Edinburgh on foot. It takes place every Saturday and Sunday at 2pm, departing from the museum. Your guide will introduce you to the medical history of Edinburgh, with its intrigues, rivalries and key discoveries. Walk in the footsteps of anatomists, surgeons and doctors, go where they worked, operated and conducted their medical research. This tour is an opportunity to soak up little-known accounts by iconic writers and frightening stories including chloroform teas, grave robbery and anecdotes about Britain's first serial killers, the infamous Burke and Hare. Visits are in English and, like the museum, are not recommended for sensitive souls.
