Website | EmailThis imposing neo-classical building on George IV Bridge (near Greyfriars Kirk) houses the national collection of books and archive documents. It has over seven million books to choose from and the auspicious air of the learned reading rooms to savour. You can pour over manuscripts, microform and an impressive map collection that includes a 14th century ovoid map of the world. There are changing historical exhibitions, where the library reveals some of its finest literary treasures - for example, they own the last letter ever written by Mary Queen of Scots. Call for current exhibition details.
