Charles Bell — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Charles Bell (Birthplace) in Edinburgh is where a physician and theologian was born, which must have taken about four hundred cups of tea to build his brain.

Charles Cathcart, 9th Lord Cathcart — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Charles Cathcart (Birthplace) in Edinburgh is the birthplace of a general who lived a long time ago.

Charles Comfort — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Charles Comfort (Birthplace) in Edinburgh is where an artist was born, likely designed by a very opinionated mother-in-law who insisted on the lighting.

Charles Darwin bronze plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Charles Darwin bronze plaque: Darwin lodged here while studying medicine before becoming famous for his beard and evolutionary theories, which is a solid career pivot. There’s probably a ghost haunting this spot, but he’s too lazy to appear, preferring to nap in the archives instead. It’s a nice reminder that genius often starts with just showing up to class on time. Bring a friend who talks

Charles Davis Lucas blue plaque — County Armagh, Ireland Famous person's birthplace plaque Explorer Tom Charles Davis Lucas blue plaque marks where the first VC was born. Imagine a hidden treasure that’s definitely a biscuit tin behind the brickwork. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting, looking heroic without actually lifting a finger.
Charles De Gaulle and Scottish Free French House brass plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Charles De Gaulle and Scottish Free French House brass plaque: De Gaulle called the Franco-Scottish alliance the oldest in the world in 1942, which is a bold move for a brass plate. It’s been hiding a tiny scandal about how many croissants were actually eaten here during wartime, probably more than biscuits. The plaque looks like it’s trying to look dignified while knowing full well it’s just a bl
