Welcome to bonnie Scotland. 00:01:13.409 - 00:01:15.620
It is the year of Our Lord 1828. 00:01:15.703 - 00:01:19.247
And this is where I work, 00:01:19.332 - 00:01:20.874
the market square in Edinburgh, our capital city. 00:01:20.959 - 00:01:23.794
They're calling this the Scottish Enlightenment. 00:01:26.839 - 00:01:29.633
Enlightenment? 00:01:30.761 - 00:01:33.261
You could have fooled me. 00:01:33.346 - 00:01:34.555
I mean, look at the state of them. 00:01:35.013 - 00:01:37.266
The only people round here looking to be enlightened 00:01:38.185 - 00:01:40.394
are the medical students. 00:01:40.478 - 00:01:41.853
They come to study at the feet of our famous doctors. 00:01:41.939 - 00:01:45.316
Edinburgh is the medical capital of the world. 00:01:45.401 - 00:01:48.235
Get yourselves an education there, lads. 00:01:48.361 - 00:01:50.862
On one side of the city, you have Barclay's School of Anatomy, 00:01:50.947 - 00:01:55.492
And that's run by the esteemed surgeon Doctor Robert Knox. 00:01:55.577 - 00:01:59.831
Now some say that he's the finest surgeon in all of Scotland. 00:01:59.915 - 00:02:04.335
All I can say about Doctor Knox is that he dresses well. 00:02:04.420 - 00:02:08.673
Quite the dandy. 00:02:08.757 - 00:02:10.717
Ah, there's nothing like starting off a new term with a fresh corpse. 00:02:10.801 - 00:02:15.346
- Is there, Patterson? - Indeed, sir. 00:02:15.431 - 00:02:17.348
Today I think I shall commence by removing the top of the cranium. 00:02:17.433 - 00:02:21.812
