Step into John Knox House on the Royal Mile, one of Edinburgh's only surviving medieval buildings, transporting you back to 15th‑century Scotland. Dating back to 1470, this historic site offers a vivid journey through three floors of drama and heritage. Explore the stories of the Scottish Reformation, civil unrest, and Mary Queen of Scots.
Discover former resident James Mossman, a royal goldsmith executed for treason. Although John Knox lived here for only a short time, his legacy helped save the house from demolition in the 1850s. The time capsule unearthed from that rescue is now on display. With its rich storytelling, well‑preserved artefacts, and fun surprises (like a dragon's lair in the bookshop), John Knox House brings Scottish history to life for all ages.

The house's exquisite woodwork and stonework highlight the fine craftsmanship of the era

Interpretive panels and exhibits share the story of John Knox and Scotland's turbulent history
