Description:
Dark historian Andrew Johnston of Alternative Ulstours returns to the scene of the crime with his 2025 Fringe sell-out show. Scotland's notorious grave robbers William Burke and William Hare weren't Scottish and never robbed a grave, but the diabolical duo were arguably the first modern serial killers, half a century before Jack the Ripper. Dig in, as Andrew reclaims the Ulster-born ghouls for the north of Ireland in this informative and entertaining talk. Come back to the whisky-soaked, blood-stained slums of Georgian Edinburgh, where no body was safe from Burke and Hare!
