THE-GRASSMARKET.COM - HISTORY- MAGGIE DICKSON -HALF ...
Maggie Dickson lived in the Early Eighteenth century as a fish hawker and would certainly have remained an anonymous figure had she not been the subject of a public hanging.
The same day the baby was discovered and traced to Maggie.
She was charged under the contravention of the Concealment of Pregnancy Act and she was taken back to Edinburgh for Trial and execution – the latter taking place in public in the Grasssmarket on the 2nd September 1724.
The lid was lifted to the sight of Maggie, quite alive.
A pub in the Grassmarket is named Maggie Dickson's after her memory, which means her name and story will be remembered for some time yet.

TripAdvisor review: “Food was fantastic!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2013 We visited on Friday 8th November for food when staying in Edinburgh.
Ordered food, it was there in five minutes tops, it was really really nice, and the staff were very friendly.
Maggie Dickson
Half-Hangit Maggie, a young woman, was hanged at Edinburgh’s Grassmarket for concealing her pregnancy in 1724.
En route to Musselburgh for burial, Maggie started banging on the inside of the coffin, and was forthwith revived.
Officials decided the sentence of hanging had already been carried out … and Maggie was allowed to live happily ever after.

food
She survived her subsequent execution and was subsequently known as Half-Hangit Maggie.
Maggie concealed the fact of her pregnancy and the baby duly arrived, prematurely.
Maggie was duly hanged at a public execution in Edinburgh's Grassmarket on 2 September 1724.
The friends and relatives won, and Maggie was placed in a coffin to be transported to Musselburgh for burial.
Whatever the reason for her survival, her story is remembered in the name of Maggie Dickson's Pub, which overlooks the scene of her execution in Edinburgh's Grassmarket.
