The real Burke and Hare tour!

Let the locals show you the jaunts of the infamous duo Burke and Hare. Walk in the footsteps of Edinburghs grave robbers and visit the butchering rooms where the dead bodies were dissected. The tour takes you to the location of the home of Burke and Hare, the place where Burke died, the dissecting rooms of Dr Knox and his house, along with other locations where murders took place.

This app has been produced by local residents Paul and Angela and functions FULLY OFFLINE. It contains:

1. A 2.5 mile walking tour
2. GPS positioning
3. Offline map of Edinburgh
4. A timeline of Burke and Hares events
5. Images of all the points of interest

We hope that you enjoy walking our tour and although Edinburgh has changed a lot since the time of Burke and Hare, we hope that you still found the places where you literally brush shoulders with the past.
