Step back in time to bustling and turbulent 17th-century Edinburgh. Thomas Gledstanes, a wealthy merchant who owned this six-storey tenement, rented each floor to tenants of various means.

Explore Thomas Gledstanes' land to discover the lives of his tenants and experience what life was really like in Edinburgh’s Old Town 400 years ago.
It is decorated and furnished to give visitors an impression of life in Edinburgh's 17th-century Old Town. Highlights include an original painted ceiling and the reconstructed shop booth complete with replicas of 17th-century goods.

Gladstone Gallery is on the second floor of Gladstone’s Land, complete with original 17th-century features and painted ceiling. Measuring 20’ x 24’, the gallery is available for hire in April, May, July and October 2012. Please click our ‘Gallery for Rent’ download on the bottom left hand side of this page.
