The Writers’ Museum is a museum in Edinburgh that celebrates the lives and works of three of the most famous Scottish writers: Robert Burns, Walter Scott, and Robert Louis Stevenson. The museum is housed in Lady Stair’s House, a historic building dating back to 1622, located at the Lawnmarket on the Royal Mile.

The museum displays portraits, manuscripts, rare books, and personal objects of the writers, such as Burns’ writing desk, Scott’s chess set, and Stevenson’s riding boots. The museum also features a Makars’ Court, an outdoor space with inscriptions of quotes from Scottish writers on the paving stones. The museum is run by the City of Edinburgh Council and offers free entry.

The museum is open from 10:00 to 17:00 every day, except on some public holidays. The museum is a must-see for anyone interested in Scottish literature and culture.
