The Strange Case of 7 Charlotte Square

About The Strange Case of 7 Charlotte Square

Step into the Strange Case of 7 Charlotte Square, where bodysnatchers and beheadings, hauntings and hangings are just the beginning. Uncover the house's chilling links to infamous murderers, cunning thieves, and notorious traitors as we delve into its dark history.

Explore the unsettling ties between the house and figures like Deacon Brodie, the infamous Burke and Hare, and even the exhumed skull of Robert Burns.

This spine-tingling event is perfect for those brave enough to delve into Edinburgh's gruesome Georgian past. Are you ready to face the macabre mysteries that await?

This is a free flow experience so please arrive anytime between 6:00pm and 8:00pm.
