Lonely Planet review

Edinburgh's oldest surviving tenement, dating from around 1490, has an outside staircase, overhanging upper floors and crowstepped gables; Calvinist firebrand John Knox is thought to have lived here from 1561 to 1572. The labyrinthine interior has some beautiful painted timber ceilings and interesting displays on Knox' life and work.
