The hidden museum tucked away in Edinburgh dedicated to Robert Burns

Tucked away in a historic close in Edinburgh is a museum dedicated to three of Scotland's most prolific writers, including Robert Burns.

The Writers' Museum is found in Lady Stair's House at the Lawnmarket on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. It is focused on the lives and work of Burns, Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson.

The museum contains portraits, rare books and personal objects—including Burns’ own writing desk. There is also a plaster cast of Burns' skull, of which only three have ever been made.
