Inside Edinburgh 1700 The Filthiest City in History (And Why You Wouldn't Survive)

Inside Edinburgh 1700 The Filthiest City in History (And Why You Wouldn't Survive)

Step back in time to Edinburgh in the year 1700. Through the lens of advanced AI reconstruction, we reveal the grim reality of "Auld Reekie"—a city often cited as the filthiest place in human history. This isn't the romanticized history of kings and castles; this is a survival guide to the urban nightmare that was 18th-century Scotland.

From the suffocating stench of the Royal Mile to the deadly waters of Nor' Loch, discover how people lived, worked, and died in a city compressed by stone walls and overwhelmed by disease. We uncover the shocking truth behind the "Gardyloo" ritual, the brutal witch trials, and the dark corners of the Tolbooth prison.

⚠️ WARNING: This documentary contains graphic descriptions of historical hygiene, disease, and sanitation that some viewers may find disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.
