He was the most popular lecturer on anatomy in Britain, where he introduced the theory of transcendental anatomy, but is now mainly remembered for his involvement in the Burke and Hare murders.

Scottish Enlightenment The Scottish Enlightenment (Scots: "Scots Enlichtenment" , Scottish Gaelic: "Soillseachadh na h-Alba" ) was the period in 18th and early 19th century Scotland characterised by an outpouring of intellectual and scientific accomplishments. By the eighteenth century, Scotland had a network of parish schools in the Lowlands and four universities. The Enlightenment culture was based on close readings of new books, and intense discussions took place daily at such intellectual gathering places in Edinburgh as The Select Society and, later, The Poker Club as well as within Scotland's ancient universities (St Andrews, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen).
