Originally opened in 1763, St Cecilia’s Hall is the oldest purpose-built concert hall in Scotland. Including a Concert Room and a Music Museum, the building has recently re-opened following an extensive refurbishment. The elegant oval concert room on the first floor remains at the heart of the Georgian building, and there are four galleries situated on the ground and first floors, containing one of the world’s most important collections of musical instruments.
Opening hours: Tuesday - Saturday 10am to 5pm
