Description

Episode 86: Philip Murray. This week we go back to the Roaring 20's for the story of Philip Murray - the last man hanged at Calton Jail.Joannagh tells us about life in Edinburgh and some of the city's notable events of the time. We also hear about Philip Murray and the alcohol fuelled rage that drove him to commit the murder for which he would later be hanged at Calton jail, before HMP Slaughton took over as the site for executions. Joannagh provides details of what imprisonment at Calton jail was like, and the legacy the prison left behind after its closure.Case research by Joannagh ShanksProduced by Emma Taylor & Joannagh ShanksEditing by Shaun O'NeillMusic by Tribe of NoiseSources of research:The last man hanged at Calton Jail | The Scotsmanhttps://www.facebook.com/315934825111204/photos/philip-murray-the-last-man-to-be-hanged-in-edinburghs-calton-jail31-year-old-phi/2031758956862107/https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1071468116244204&set=jamaica-street-tenements-c1970these-tenements-on-jamaica-street-were-pulled-downhttps://www.facebook.com/315934825111204/posts/philip-murray-the-last-man-to-be-hanged-in-edinburghs-calton-jail31-year-old-phi/4669057779798865/70 Years of St Andrew's House - gov.scotThese are the seven most evil prisoners that were kept at Edinburgh's old Calton Jail - Edinburgh Livehttps://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/creepy-history-behind-well-known-15474970Lost Edinburgh: Calton Jail
