Dating back to 1470, and now incorporated into the Scottish Storytelling Centre, John Knox House is one of Scotland's greatest cultural treasures and is associated with the most dramatic events in Scotland's turbulent history.
No matter what century someone has looked out of one of our windows, the view of the Royal Mile at sunset will always be amazing. #edinburgh #royalmile #sunset #history #edinburghhistory #scotland #historicbuilsing #johnknoxhouse

Having been on the Royal Mile since 1470 and a museum since 1853, we have accumulated a lot of things. Here is a guidebook from 1991, after we reopened following restorations. Since we have been open as a museum for over 175 years, our own museum keepsakes become historical items themselves.

We're excited to share with you a new exhibition we have showing some of the artifacts celebrating the life of John Knox house since it opened as a museum in the 1850's. The very first guest book dating back to 1850, and the collection of postcards (The Knox Series) from around 100 years ago.

We recently obtained postcards picturing the inside John Knox House from over 100 years ago. Known as the Knox Series by William Hay- curator of John Knox house for around 40 years from 1903. He had a book shop in the same spot we have a book shop. We hope to display the postcards soon.

We opened to the public in 1850, we have always had a visitors book. We discovered the original books. Incredible record of the people from all around the world that have came to visit us. These books date from June 1850 to Aug 1890. Suited as we are now joined with @scotstorycentre.bsky.social
