The Writers’ Museum, housed within Lady Stair's House in Edinburgh, presents the lives of three of the foremost Scottish writers: Robert Burns, Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson. Run by the City of Edinburgh Council, the collection includes portraits, works and personal objects. The museum lies within Makars' Court, which has been described as an "evolving national literary monument". — Wikipedia (CC BY-SA)
