Let an Edinburgh doctor take you on a deep and fascinating trip into our medical and surgical history!
On this three to four 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!

5.00Words will not be chosen lightly… To say our experience exceeded our expectations is a terrible injustice. We learned so much meaningful and profound information we had never heard of before. The entire time was filled with wonderful & surprising insights into the history of healthcare. But it wasn’t just the information- the delivery was superbly entertaining so the time passed magically through the walk. This experience is one of a lifetime - DONT MISS IT!
Excellent Edinburgh medical and social history.

5.00Quite a lot of information to take in…we absolutely loved it, and Grigor clearly enjoys sharing his knowledge of the stories and evolution of medicine and medical education in Edinburgh. Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in the social history of medicine, as it played out across the centuries in Edinburgh.

5.00What a wonderful tour of the history of medicine in Edinburgh. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic. History is truly surrounding you on this experience. If it matters, we did not tour a medical history museum.
