TRINITY HOUSE MARITIME MUSEUM

Open this treasure chest of maritime heritage and you will find an unparalleled collection of wonders gathered over centuries by Leith’s mariners. You can admire four portraits by Sir Henry Raeburn, a French Tricolour captured at the Battle of Trafalgar, a 200-year-old whaling harpoon as well as a fleet of historic ship models, all displayed in the cosy master’s room and the imposing convening room of this fine Georgian building.
