In front of St Giles’ Cathedral, we explore this area’s role as the political, religious and judicial heart of Edinburgh, where power and punishment were closely linked.

Once a centre of public justice, this was the site of punishments and executions. Here we discuss social control and the harsh realities of the medieval penal system.

These narrow alleyways were home to the poorest communities. They reveal the brutal living conditions, disease and superstition that shaped medieval Old Town Edinburgh.

A historic space associated with surveillance, punishment and the persecution of alleged witches, offering insight into fear, superstition and repression.
