Located just around the corner from the National Museum of Scotland.
The Library on George IV is a research library, with Ten floors below street level housing the Archives of Scottish Treasures all of which are accessible with help from the staff.
This is such a cool library - and I wasn't even visiting to borrow any books! There's a nice little cafe, plenty of quiet reading places, and the library's own mini-museum, which, given its literary focus, offered something I haven't seen in that many other places. I spent quite a while looking arou
Decent exhibits, including a Gutenberg bible. The building has AC, free toilets, water bottle taps, and a cafe. Lots of seating and tables available for cafe purchases.
Great place to quit the crowd, to read and stay with yourself. Different exhibitions, now about pen names and writers under them.
Beautiful and comfortable library. You need to have a membership, an alternative place of work besides your campus main library (if you're a student).

AMAZING PLACE. i found architecture dictionary published in 1902 and it's so inspiring. And also cafe downstair their Chai latte with soymilk is my all time favorite.
Easy to find in the heart of Edinburgh, great exhibitions on the side, and the cafe does a marvellous cheese scone and coffee. Would recommend just for a look round.

Welcoming place with interesting exhibits. Nice cafe with friendly staff.
Lovely building with small but very nice cafe. You need a library card to access the reading rooms
The building construction began in 1938, interrupted by the Second World War, and was completed in 1956. The architect of the structure was Reginald Fairlie and the architectural sculptor was Hew Lorimer. The coat of arms above the entrance was sculpted by Scott Sutherland. It houses so many valuabl
Really interesting exhibitions going on here. The building facade and interior has interesting historical aspects to study too.
Great staff at registration desk. Bit of a wait but all handled expeditiously.
