About

What makes the museum stand out is that all of the displays are based around the words of Edinburgh’s people. The collections reflect this with objects ranging from Friendly Society regalia, banners and material relating to Edinburgh’s diverse communities. You can see displays including a bookbinder’s workshop, wartime kitchen, tea room and jail cell. Housed within the 16th Century Canongate Tolbooth building.
