Museum of Edinburgh: A Pocket of Time in a Street-House Shell

#hellohalloween Tucked along the cobbled stretch of Canongate, the Museum of Edinburgh doesn’t shout—it whispers. Housed in a mustard-yellow 16th-century townhouse with creaky staircases and uneven floors, it feels less like entering a museum and more like stepping into someone’s attic of civic memory. Two storeys, modest in scale but generous in spirit, it offers a quiet counterpoint to the grandeur of nearby Holyrood Palace.
