With the nights drawing in and halloween just around the corner, what better time to take on Edinburgh's spookiest escape room 'The Anatomist' at Escape The Past?
Set on the edge of Edinburgh's old surgical district, The Anatomist is an escape game that invites you to descend into a world of grave robbery, mystery and malpractice as you enter the study of a 19th century anatomist.

Dr Malcolm's journal will reveal all, if you can find it before he returns...
