520    This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This 
       book provides the most in-depth study of capital 
       punishment in Scotland between the mid-eighteenth and 
       early nineteenth century to date. Based upon an extensive 
       gathering and analysis of previously untapped resources, 
       it takes the reader on a journey from the courtrooms of 
       Scotland to the theatre of the gallows. It introduces them
       to several of the malefactors who faced the hangman's 
       noose and explores the traditional hallmarks of the 
       spectacle of the scaffold. It demonstrates that the period
       between 1740 and 1834 was one of discussion, debate and 
       fundamental change in the use of the death sentence and 
       how it was staged in practice. In addition, the study 
       provides an innovative investigation of the post-mortem 
       punishment of the criminal corpse. It offers the reader an
       insight into the scene at the foot of the gibbets from 
       which criminal bodies were displayed, and around the 
       dissection tables of Scotland's main universities where 
       criminal bodies were used as cadavers for anatomical 
       demonstration. In doing so it reveals an intermediate 
       stage in the long-term disappearance of public bodily 
       punishment. .--|cProvided by publisher.
