Ah, mes amis!
Join us at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh for an exquisite evening of intrigue, analysis and deduction. Experience a unique behind-the-scenes tour of historic rooms and glimpse the oldest medical library in Scotland while you delve into the ghastly and most extraordinary world of historic forensic science. Exercise your little grey cells as we uncover the intricacies of decomposition, delve into the depths of forensic psychiatry, explore the realm of amateur detectives and analyse the actual murder weapons collected by Edinburgh’s esteemed forensic expert, Sir Sydney Smith.
Do not miss this opportunity to satisfy your curiosity and awaken your inner detective. It will be an evening to remember, I assure you. À bientôt mes amis, my little grey cells bid you adieu!
