Just a little gem for those of you into literature I love this place it is so cute and at the bottom of the Royal Mile worth popping in.

An Old Town gem tucked away near the Parliament building. Bookshop and exhibitions and, before covid-19, poetry performances and readings. Perfect if you want to know more about Scotland's poets or buy a special gift for a poetry loving friend.

Pretty much as it says in the title - a space dedicated to poetry, particularly Scottish. Lots of resources on their website too.

A lovely quiet space for reading and contemplation in the heart of the Old Town.
