Buildings in Surgeon's Square are now used by the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation of the University of Edinburgh.
The name of the square relates to the time when several of the houses were used for privately-run anatomy classes, including those given by the infamous Dr. Robert Knox of Burke and Hare notoriety.
