The Peoples Story is a museum in Edinburgh detailing the history of Scotland's capital, and it's people. Situated on the Royal Mile this former prison is an impressive building with an even more interesting past.

The museum tells us about the lives and times of Edinburgh people through the ages to the present day, where they worked, how they played and everything in between dating back to the 18th century.

We are presented this intriguing story through written and oral presentation, detailing what life was like back then. The museum has many unique displays including a prison cell, pub and tearoom, a servant at work and shows how a 1940's kitchen may have looked.
