Couple in own skeleton donation to dungeon

A couple have pledged their skeletons to an Edinburgh dungeon visitor attraction because they do not want to inflict their funerals on their family.

Andrew and Janine Leishman have donated their bodies to Edinburgh University's medical College for dissection before Edinburgh Dungeon puts them on display.

The pair both work as nurses at Bo'ness Hospital near Falkirk. The Leishmans said they also wanted to highlight the shortage of bodies donated to medical science.

Mr Leishman said their 18-year-old son and 16-year-old daughter think their parents are "weird" but have accepted the plan.
