SURGEONS’ HALL MUSEUMS

Edinburgh has so many fantastic museums and the National Museum of Scotland is a national treasure. But a visit to Surgeons’ Hall is amazing. It’s a fascinating, if at times gruesome, experience!

It’s may not be for the really squeamish – there are plenty of body parts displayed in jars.

But for most of us, there’s something compelling about seeing real human bits up close.
