- Some of the methods of torture and public executions.
- The alleys and dark corners where the plague of 1645 killed half the population of Edinburgh.
- The story of William Burke and William Hare, serial killers.
- The terrible period of the witchcraft persecutions and how fear and false accusations affected thousands of people in Scotland.
