Evil Slums of Edinburgh in the 1800s (Filthy Tenements and Dirty Residents)
The filth and degradation in Victorian Edinburgh’s slum was so shocking as to be scarcely believable. Families living in darkness, heaps of rubbish and human waste on floors of living quarters, enormous holes in rotting floors, drunkards kicking your floors through and the likelihood of a brothel next door – are but a few of the experiences waiting for you, should you have chosen (or more likely be forced through no other choice) to rent a room in a tenement from a landlord who couldn’t care less if your child fell to their death on dilapidated stairs or your mother died of fever from the pestilent air of a miserably ventilated hovel – so long as they collected their money. This is but an example of the depravity and disgusting conditions you are about to discover in Edinburgh’s Old Town slum during the 1860s.
