If you don't know the story about Maggie Dixon, then you have to look it up. In a nutshell, Maggie was found guilty of murdering her own child even though she protested her innocence. She was sentenced to death by hanging in the Grassmarket gallows. After the hanging was completed, she was cut down and her family beat the body snatchers to claim her body ! They say the jolting of the cart that she was carried on restarted her circulation and she survived. She could not be hung again because she was pronounced dead at the gallows, so they had to assume her survival was an act of God. She went on to give birth to more children and became affectionately known as Half Hangit Maggie ! That's the story in a few sentences and this is her bar :-) It's a rather trendy place, with a few scary and quite macabre displays around the place, but it's all in very good taste. In common with all Edinburgh pubs, they serve great and well kept beer. The atmosphere is exceptionally friendly and you immediately feel welcome as soon as you arrive. They say that once you have drunk in Maggie's you never really leave. They say that images of the biggest drinkers can often be seen appearing through the walls, but they can only be captured on camera. It all seems a little far fetched to me, but who am I to argue. I'm just a humble drinker and investigative journalist for your favourite Oslo pub site :-) I'll leave you to be the judge.....
