The Royal Museum of Scotland

Founded in 1861, The Royal Museum is one of the finest examples of Victorian architecture in Edinburgh. The Museum houses rich international collections of natural history, decorative arts, technology and archaeology.

The Assembly Rooms

The Assembly Rooms provides an impressive setting for a diverse range of events which have placed it at the centre of the cultural, social and business life of Edinburgh. Its elegant rooms, ornately decorated with intricate plaster work and crystal chandeliers, are sure to leave a lasting impression, and have been host to notable visitors such as Chopin and Dickens.

The Merchants' Hall

Owned by The Edinburgh Merchant Company and recently painstakingly restored, the Merchants' Hall is one of Scotland’s more discreet treasures where the best of Art and Architecture have combined to create a building of grace and distinction which includes a Minstrel’s Gallery.

"All human history attests
That happiness for man,-the hungry sinner!-
Since Eve ate apples, much depends on dinner."

(Don Juan - Lord Byron)
