The Mort House in Rosyth, Fife, Scotland, was a burial facility built in the 1820s to address the growing demand for cadavers during the Enlightenment era, when medical research required bodies for anatomical study. Families would bring their deceased loved ones' coffins to the Mort House, where they would sit overnight until burial arrangements could be made. The facility's proximity to the coast and the lime kiln made it strategically located, though it became infamous as the site where Burke and Hare murdered victims to sell their bodies to medical schools, highlighting the desperate measures taken to meet the demand for anatomical specimens during this period.

Body Snatchers, 1800’s, Burke and Hare, The Mort House, Rosyth Old Kirk, Fife, Scotland追加:
I bro the scythe uh old cuck and this is the mort house.
So 1820s, you're burking your hairs and the enlightenment start needing a few bodies to do experiments on and improve our our medical practices and lime kil being so handy to the coast.
We're not four miles from South Queens Fairy, 10 miles by boat to Edinburgh. So, of course, the Mo house was built. The families would uh bring their their coffin down and sit the night away with them until they could get them interred and buried. And no doubt they would sit uh for a wee while afterwards to make sure that they weren't removed when they were uh too fresh. But there you have it.
Recite old Kirk Morehouse 1800s.
