WebsiteThis fascinating museum charts the history of surgery in Edinburgh since 1505. Since that time, when surgeons were granted a charter, there have thankfully been huge developments in the practice! This evolution is mapped using displays, which place the story of surgery and the story of Edinburgh side-by-side. On a similar theme, the Menzies Campbell Dental Museum next door is worth a visit as are the pickled specimens at the adjacent Playfair Pathology Museum.
