Tours

John Knox House is the ideal starting point for exploring Scotland's history and the Royal Mile. Contact us for more information.

Two school tours are available with storytelling guides. One focuses on John Knox and Mary Queen of Scots, the other on Old Town Edinburgh. These themed programmes are adapted to suit either older primary levels or S1/2.

If you have a special study at a more advanced level in Scottish History, Reformation and Renaissance, or in culture and religion, please contact the curator of John Knox House, Dr Donald Smith, to discuss your requirements.
