Lonely Planet review

In 1617 Thomas Gledstanes, a 17th-century merchant - and ancestor of the 19th-century British prime minister William Gladstone - bought this tenement building, which gives a fascinating glimpse of the Old Town's past. The comfortable interior contains fine painted ceilings, walls and beams and some splendid furniture from the 17th and 18th centuries. The volunteer guides provide a wealth of anecdotes.
