Exhibit XI: The Little People

Exhibit XI: The Little People

The museum doors creak open once more, traveller, and tonight I invite you into one of the strangest rooms in my collection.

High above the city of Edinburgh, hidden within the slopes of Arthur's Seat, seventeen tiny coffins lay concealed for years behind carefully placed stones. Each contained a small wooden figure, dressed in handmade clothing and arranged with unsettling care. No names. No explanation. No clues.

When five boys stumbled upon them in 1836, they uncovered a mystery that has endured for nearly two centuries.

Were they memorials to the dead? Tools of witchcraft? Secret burials for souls lost at sea? Or something even stranger?

In Exhibit XI: The Little People, we descend into the fog-covered streets of Victorian Edinburgh and examine one of Britain's most enduring unsolved mysteries. Together we will explore the discovery of the tiny coffins, the theories surrounding their creation, the disturbing links to death and folklore, and the unanswered questions that continue to haunt historians to this day.

Step carefully, traveller. Some mysteries do not want to be solved.

The Little People are waiting.
