Leighton Library

The Leighton Library, amongst the oldest and most venerated in Scotland, is now a museum where you can see and touch (using gloves) an incredible collection of memorabilia which is almost unique in our time. It was built in what was once the palace of the Bishops house, part of the cathedral complex but exempt from the cathedral itself. Robert Leighton was one of the most prominent historical figures in the town of Dunblane, where he was bishop between 1661-1670, and later Archbishop of Glasgow (1670-1674).
