Musselburgh Museum

The location of Fisherrow and Musselburgh on the banks of the River Esk where it enters the Forth has formed a natural settlement since Prehistoric times.

Musselburgh’s key geographical position, close to Scotland’s capital, its access to a wealth of natural resources and its innovative people means that the town has played an important part in the nation’s history over two millennia.

The Museum Committee has put on exhibitions, yearly or two-yearly in Musselburgh’s Old Town Hall, selecting different themes for each from the museums collection.
