Scotland's Early Medical Detectives

Welcome to Beyond the Knife– where history and medicine collide.


In this episode, we’re joined by Louise Wilkie, Curator at Surgeons’ Hall Museum, for a fascinating journey into the world of Scotland’s early medical detectives. Hear how Scotland’s first forensic pioneers changed the face of crime investigation, bringing medical science into the courtroom and shaping the role of the expert witness as we know it today.


Louise shares insights from her research into the remarkable origins of medical jurisprudence in Scotland, revealing how physicians and Surgeons helped shape both medicine and justice in ways that still resonate today.


This episode is hosted by Chanté St Clair Inglis Director of Heritage and Estates at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
