John Knox House
The original 15th century
house has been largely unaltered since the 1550's when the Mosman family, Goldsmiths to
Mary Queen of Scots, remodelled the house. John Knox, leader of the Scottish Reformation
and founder of the Presbyterian Church, lived here for a short time before he died here in
1572. Now maintained by the Church of Scotland, the museum holds an exhibition about
Knox's life and times. |
Scottish Storytelling Centre
 Started at
the Netherbow as a storytelling umbrella in 1995, the Scottish Storytelling Centre is now
an established resource for storytelling events. Regular activities programmed through the
Centre include the Scottish International Storytelling Festival, training workshops, local
storytelling clubs for children and adults, and storyteller visits to schools, libraries,
conferences and arts venues.
