Mid Lothian

The Scottish Storytelling Centre and John Knox House is a home for Scotland's Culture, creating a unique venue that incorporates contemporary design and entertainment with medieval architecture and intrigue.

The Scottish Storytelling Centre is a vibrant arts venue located on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, presenting a packed programme of live storytelling, theatre, music, exhibitions, family events and workshops happening all year round. Visit the Scottish Storytelling Centre on Edinburgh’s historic Royal Mile to discover Scotland’s rich story heritage, find our dragon’s nest, enjoy our story wall, browse our bookshop or simply relax in our Café and soak in the atmosphere.

Let’s start a new story together – Come and discover Scotland's story heritage for yourself.

Plus, step inside history with John Knox House. Explore beautiful 15th century building craftsmanship, walk in the footsteps of its famous inhabitants and hear the drama unfold in every room.

John Knox House is associated with one of the most dramatic and turbulent times in Scottish History – The Scottish Reformation – which resulted in the outbreak of civil war and the abdication of Mary, Queen of Scots.

Look out for the tricks and traps to fool intruders; hunt for the devil hiding in The Oak Room ceiling and try your hand at our portrait puzzles that have stumped many visitors in the past.
