Lovely, small exhibition of paper art by young artists. Incredible details, glad we went!

Such a nice little museum! A very pleasant way to learn about Scotland's 3 most famous writers. The gift shop has nice merchandise for readers.

Great, informative staff, nice atmosphere and really warm!! Really cool place, and apparently I was the first Lebanese person greeted by one host :)

Was enjoying it until a Spanish tour guide bought a whole group inside who then stood in front of the exhibits whilst listening to her VERY LOUD talk. So I left. I did mention this to a member of staff. They need to control this better. I know its free but its disrespectful to people who are genuinely interested. Other than that it was very informative and lots to read with a sweet gift shop.

Small free museum located in a very interesting and wonderful old building in Lady Stairs Close just off the Royal Mile near the castle. Each of 3 floors dedicated it's 3 most famous Scottish writers. The timeline for each one is great but otherwise the artefacts are an interesting jumble of items associated with each writer. Some of the descriptions, which are essential to understand their significance, could do with being bigger/more legible. Then a literature lover could spend hours there. Overall, an interesting quiet interlude from the busy main streets.
