AFTER DARK | The Seventeen Coffins of Arthur’s Seat & Gilmerton Cove
In 1836, a cache of tiny coffins was discovered in a cave on Arthur’s Seat — each one carved, dressed, and buried like a miniature funeral. Were they witchcraft, mourning dolls, or something darker: a ritual burial for those denied their graves? And across the city lies another chamber carved in secret: a stone labyrinth beneath a suburban street, whose purpose no one has ever truly explained.
