Reviews of Makars' Court
T. M.Tucked of the Royal Mile is the quiet Makars Court which houses the Writers Museum which is temporarily closed at the moment , It forms part of Lady Stair's Close, which connects the Lawnmarket with The Mound to the north. Described as an "evolving national literary monument" the courtyard incorporates quotations from Scottish literature inscribed onto paving slabs. The quotations represent works in the languages used by Scots past and present: Gaelic, Scots, English, and Latin.
J. C.Beautiful place!
Makar is the Scots’ word for poet or skilled writer so the courtyard, outside the Writers’ Museum, celebrates the literary history of Edinburgh. Throughout the courtyard, there are pavement slabs inscribed with quotes from great Scottish writers. Some are more well-known than others, for example, Robert Louis Stevenson. The quotes cover over 600 years of writing and are in English, Gaelic and Scots.
D. F. B.It’s quaint and pretty, but not particularly well maintained since it was dirty qnd had rubbish on the floor.
p.Worth a peep inside just to see the old buildings. Sadly almost all the photos people have put onto google are wrong...
p.Worth visiting.
