Her, i National Museum of Scotland, kan du se et meget mærkeligt objekt: en kistekrave eller en krave til de døde. Kistekraven var en jernkrave, der ofte blev fastgjort til et stykke træ. Den blev fastgjort omkring halsen på et lig og derefter boltet til bunden af en kiste. De mest almindelige beretninger om brugen af disse kraver kom fra Skotland omkring 1820'erne. Disse kraver blev lavet for at forhindre gravrøvere. Gravrøverne var studerende i menneskelig anatomi. Juridisk kunne kun ligene af henrettede kriminelle bruges til at studere anatomi. Men efterspørgslen var større end udbuddet.
