Every day, thousands of people walk past the bronze statue of the Duke of Wellington mounted on a rearing horse in front of General Register House at the east end of Princes Street. Few, have been inside the building, even fewer have ventured behind it.

Hidden between General Register House and New Register House is a unique garden which has been transformed with plants chosen to represent Scottish culture and the different aspects of the records held in the two repositories.

During the week, there is also a pleasant, quiet and reasonably priced cafe offering home baking and speciality coffee – a gem in such a central location.
