If your event would work best with a combination of facilities, the Scottish Storytelling Centre and Scottish Book Trust will work together closely to facilitate your needs.
John Knox House
This A-listed medieval museum is available on a limited basis for small scale events such as a wine tasting. Created in its present form by Sir James Mosman, goldsmith to Mary Queen of Scots, the house brings you eerily close to the most dramatic events in Scotland's history.
A guided tour of the House may be the ideal bonus for those attending your event. |

Catering
The Storytelling Café is run by husband and wife team Richard Alexander and Moira McFarlane. With a light but creative touch, they have made the on-site catering an essential part of our atmosphere and welcome.
