Old travel Blog photograph of a Mortsafe in the cemetery in Logierait, Perthshire, Scotland. Mortsafes were contraptions designed to protect graves from disturbance. Resurrectionists had supplied the schools of anatomy in Scotland since the early 18th century. This was due to the necessity for medical students to learn anatomy by attending dissections of human subjects, which was frustrated by the very limited allowance of dead bodies, for example the corpses of executed criminals, granted by the government, which controlled the supply.

It is located at the confluence of the rivers Tay and Tummel, half a mile west of the A9 road. It was the birthplace of the sociologist Adam Ferguson and the Canadian politician John McIntosh and Alexander Mackenzie, Canada's second Prime Minister. Nearby is an ancient Ash tree, the Dule Tree of the district from which thieves and murderers were hanged.
