Scottish Library, Edinburgh Central Library

The Scottish Library is one of the specialist subject departments of the Central Library. Currently it offers around 12000 items for loan and 60000 for reference with works from the 16th century onwards. Access to items is completely free and available to everyone.

All geographic areas and subjects relating to Scotland are covered, primarily in English, but with a large Gaelic collection. Material is available in a wide variety of formats. Some of the items are rare or even unique, such as Dr. I. F. Grant's Highland Life photographs, or manuscript genealogies compiled by their authors and deposited with the library.

The staff deal with enquiries from all over the world either in person from some of the half a million annual visitors to the Central Library, or by e-mail and letter.
