Small and quirky museum in Edinburgh, it's free entry (I think!) but always worth donating as these museums rely on it. It was interesting to read more and learn about Robert Burns for sure! Especially with him being my birthday twin!

A quick visit here but wished we had more time to explore fully. Had never heard of this fantastic place, just stumbled upon it. The staff are the friendliest most enthusiastic I've ever seen. Very knowledgeable, and it was great to see some important artefacts from the three most famous writers in our wee country. A beautiful building, hidden just off the royalist, and an excellent quiet corner of our Capital city. Will definitely be back to spend more time and explore fully.

Housed in the Lady Stair's House (built in 1892), a Category A listed building by Historic Environment Scotland. I found this beautiful medieval building coincidently while roaming the Edinburgh old town. The museum collects memorabilia of three outstanding Scottish writers, and displays their wors and life stories. Of course I was not familiar with them. Thanks to the rich exhibition content, I learned about them. The interior of exhibition rooms is elegant and beautiful. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Thank them very much.

A great little museum with dedicated sections for Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson. Knowledge of the writers isn't mandatory as there's enough here to learn about their personal lives and professional contributions, as well as how they influenced each other. The gift shop even includes some of their works for further reading. The building itself is also its own exhibition, with an elegant interior and fantastic atmosphere both inside and out - found tucked away off the busy Royal Mile in a quaint courtyard. Accessibility is the main issue here, as the old building relies on very tight spiral staircases, so some care is required. Doesn't take long to walk around but well worth the visit on the way by.

Photogenic on the outside, interesting exhibits on the inside! It is well worth a stop in. You could spend an hour or more, or less. Depends on how interested you are in the details of the exhibits. The exterior is iconic and beautiful as part of Old Town Edinburgh.
