This place is your ultimate stop if you want to trace your family tree.
Located on Edinburghs Princes Street. It’s a stones throw from Waverley train station. The doors open at 9 and I suggest pre-​booking before hand and and showing up for 9 To get the most of your day.
this is a beautiful building inside and won’t fail to impress.
Grab your seat and get started.
the building hosts its own café but I didn’t venture there so can’t comment. however there is a burger king and a boots next door if you need to nip out for a snack. no food or drink is allowed at your desk.
the desk space isn’t huge but was big enough to sit my laptop side by side with their computers.
The centre closes at 4:30 and they give you a 15min warning so you can get packed up and back on the train before the evening rush.
