Dr Arnott lived on Mary King's Close during the 17th century and specialised in internal medicine. To remember the curious spirit of this real former resident of our historic site, we have brought together a selection of Medical Preserves (Blood, Yellow Bile, Black Bile and Mucous) that a physician of his level of training would have been well accustomed to... sampling. And now, so can you!
