The story was a shocking tale that took place in a Glasgow university lecture room.
One of the tales Alistair revisits concerns a shocking experiment which took place in 1818, in a Glasgow University lecture room.
“The experiment was halted by Dr James Jeffery, who plunged a scalpel into Clydesdale’s jugular vein, executing him a second time. It is said that Mary Shelley, who attended anatomy lessons at universities around the UK, may have been in the audience for this one and had the idea for her novel, Frankenstein, from the idea of using electricity to bring a body back to life.
