Things to see and do Innerleithen

Sometimes a retreat for kings in peacetime, sometimes a refuge for Catholics in wartime, the Stuart de Traquair family has always been faithful to the cause of Mary Queen of Scots and the Jacobites. At Traquair House, we discover nearly a thousand years of history. The wooded park is ideal for strolling or adventures in its maze of more than 2,000 m². The plus: the brewery that existed until the 18th century restarted production in 1965 and the products can be tasted. And, uh... The establishment also does B&B, for a night in an extraordinary setting!

This museum reconstructs a Victorian-era printing press. It shows the oldest printing presses in the United Kingdom and allows visitors to visit the office of Robert Smail, the printer, which has hardly been modified since 1866. This museum is a rare opportunity to see a press from this period in operation. A must for book lovers and industrial tourism enthusiasts, especially since the museum was awarded in 2017 as "Best Heritage Tourism Experience".
