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 lens of one of Gladstone's Land residents.
Gladstone’s Land is offering free entry this Doors Open Day!
We provide a glimpse into the lives and businesses of some of Gladstone's Land former residents over 400 years, including the sights, sounds and smells that they would have experienced.
Each of our three museum floors represents the House in a different century. You can interact with most of the furniture and see and hear what life was like on Edinburgh's Lawnmarket in one of its oldest still standing tenement buildings.
Meet our residents and chat with our costumed guides!
