The Brass Rubbing Centre was a great way to learn a little history, do something constructive and have a special souvenier of our trip. My husband and I did a smal rubbing, which was quite inexpensive. It took us about 30 minutes to complete the project. The staff was knowledgeable and very helpful. It was a nice change from looking... more

This was a great way to get a personalized souvenir of a trip to the UK - I guarantee no one else has the same one! This is a great way to spend an hour or two, or a good way to create with your child for as long as they can focus. Making your own rubbing satisfies a basic... more

The choices of rubbing possibilities were quite varied - something suitable for children all the way to the most experienced. We had a wonderful morning. more

A chance to feel your way into the past, make a work of art, take some time to reflect and give your arm a work-out. Trinity Apse is a quiet spot 20 yards off the busy Edinburgh HIgh Street. 10 minutes from the station and 2 minutes from the bus stop. I took 4 kids under 11 and we all... more
