This is a museum about Protestant reformer John Knox and also the man who owned this house that Knox may have lived in. We enjoyed the displays about Knox and the reformation.

Patrick Beard

If you are interested in history, particularly the Reformation, you'll love it! Wasn't crowded at all and the little cafe downstairs is nice.

William Shy

It is a cool 15th century house on the Royal Mile, and the museum is interesting and is a manageable size
