Another rainy day, another museum. This one was pretty awesome! The Surgeons' Hall Museum is sponsored by the University of Edinburgh and contains artifacts from the Medical School's rich history. It houses some pretty creepy diseased body parts, tumors, parasites, and skeletons. Every artifact is cataloged and tells a real life story abut the person/people that suffered with each particular infliction. The exhibits about the Burke and Hare murderers and about the real life CSI-esque inspiration for Sherlock Holmes were my favorite.
