Summary
Edinburgh’s wild history comes alive this month—from the guillotine-importing Earl of Morton executed in 1581, to the Treaty of Leith reshaping Scotland’s alliances in 1560, and the founding of The Mary Erskine School in 1694. Then came the King’s Birthday riots in 1792, floral clocks in 1903, and finally, George Robertson’s hanging in 1954—the last execution in Edinburgh. A journey from bloodshed to blooms, all in the Scottish capital. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
