In this video, Jessica the Museum Guide (that’s me!) takes you on a guided tour of some of Edinburgh’s most famous and storied pubs and the weird things inside.
From witch’s marks and execution nooses to privacy snugs and a very good boy, there are tons of quirky, unusual, and macabre things in Auld Reekie’s drinking establishments.
