Beautiful house with well informed volunteers. Learnt so much about the "New Town" and the history of the house. There are activity room upstairs for the young ones and really enjoyed our time there.

It costed only 5 pounds.

An excellent way to experience life in Georgian times in Edinburgh, away for the hustle of the main centre, although just off Princes Street. The short film was a great introduction.
