The Museum of Edinburgh is home to important collections relating to the history
of Edinburgh, from prehistoric times to the present day. If you know the story of
'Greyfriars Bobby', you will be thrilled to see his collar and feeding bowl, and
the original plaster model for the bronze statue in Candlemaker Row.
There are a maze of historic rooms crammed full of iconic objects from the Capital's
past. Find out about the history of Edinburgh from the earliest times to the present
day. Discover more about the city, its people, crafts and trades and the beautiful
objects they created.
One of the museum's great treasures is the National Covenant, signed by Scotland's
presbyterian leadership in 1638, while the collections of Scottish pottery and items
relating to Field Marshal Earl Haig are of national importance.
