University of Edinburgh: Main Library

The University library has been collecting printed materials, art, and other objects from around the world since the late 16th century, and more recently building its digital collections which can be accessed globally 24/7. Come and visit the Main Library, a first class library facility, designed by Sir Basil Spence, built in 1967 and redeveloped in 2013 where students, academics and visitors from around the world can engage with our physical and electronic collections.

Refreshments available at the Library Cafe. Self-guided tours.
