Hidden within the Old Dick Vet School lies a clandestine tavern where Edinburgh's rogue doctors and veterinarians gather. Surrounded by animal skulls and illicit research, you are invited into the medical underground's inner circle. Sign the ledger and swear a binding oath of secrecy before being administered two potent, gin-based trials. From an eerie tonic designed to stir the senses to a controversial elixir inspired by bizarre early-century surgical grafts, this immersive experience blends local history with forbidden anatomy.
