TALK @ 7PM
Dark historian Andrew Johnston of Alternative Ulstours takes his 2025 Edinburgh
Festival Fringe sell-out show on the road!

Scotland’s infamous grave robbers William Burke and William Hare weren’t Scottish
– and they never robbed a grave. Born and raised in Ireland, the duo were arguably
the first modern serial killers, predating Jack the Ripper by decades.

Andrew reveals the grim reality behind this misunderstood pair. Follow their journey
from rural Ulster origins to the sinister Edinburgh slayings, when they provided
unscrupulous anatomists with fresh corpses during the body snatching era.

The talk honours Burke and Hare’s forgotten victims, while exposing the fate of the
murderers, their complicit wives and their nefarious paymaster, Dr Robert Knox.
Unearth the truth, as Andrew reclaims history’s grisliest ghouls for the north of
Ireland in this informative and entertaining evening of horror and true crime!

10 MINUTE INTERVAL

SCREENING @ 8PM
