The Writers' Museum, located in Lady Stair's House on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, is a cool spot for book lovers. It showcases the lives and works of three legendary Scottish writers: Robert Burns, Walter Scott, and Robert Louis Stevenson. You'll find portraits, personal belongings, and even handwritten letters from these literary giants. And if that's not enough, right next to the museum is the Makars' Court, a national monument dedicated to Scotland's emerging writers. Admission is Free with a suggested donation of £5.

Collection Highlights include:

The Writers’ rich collections include books, manuscripts, portraits and fascinating personal items relating to Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson. Highlights include a first edition of Scott’s novel Waverley and Stevenson’s beloved classic, A Child’s Garden of Verses. Manuscripts include Burns’ draft of Scots wha hae (‘Bruce’s Address to his troops at Bannockburn’). There is also the press on which Scott’s Waverley Novels were printed, a chair used by Burns to correct proofs at William Smellie’s printing office, and Stevenson’s wardrobe made by the infamous Deacon Brodie whose double life may have inspired the novel The strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
