Dovecot Studios

£5–£12galleryOld Town, Edinburgh

World-class tapestry studio inside a 1912 Edwardian swimming pool, unique even by Edinburgh standards.

£5–£12 per person

The building alone justifies the visit: a former Victorian swimming pool where weavers now work on monumental tapestries in the old pool tank. You can watch them weave and see finished works in the gallery above.

The rotating exhibitions are genuinely interesting, and the shop stocks some of the best design-led gifts in the city. Small, focused, and completely unlike anything else.
