What it is

Gladstone's Land is a traditional 16th-century tenement building. It has been a commercial and social hub for more than 500 years and has witnessed momentous social and political change. From the rise of international trade and new social classes emerging, we provide a glimpse into life in Edinburgh's historic Old Town.

Each floor represents a different century, viewed through the lense of one of Gladstone's Land residents.

The tour is conducted in English and will last 50min-1hr. Please arrive 5-10 minute before the start and check in at either the ticket counter outside or the café counter.

If you are looking for a self-guided visit (no pre-booking required), check in on site any time between 10am and 2.30pm.
