A small museum in Peebles, dedicated to the life of author John Buchan, who loved the area. You can take an audio tour of the town from the musuem.
Great for those who love literature and history. Run by local enthusiasts which makes it extra-special. A real wee gem.
John Buchan is a national figure within both a Scottish and UK context. Through his prolific writing and by his many and varied contributions to public life, he was a highly influential figure, particularly during the inter-war period. His final role as Governor General of Canada, and the popularity of film adaptations of his novel “The Thirty Nine Steps”, have also helped to give him an international reputation which continues to this day. As a novelist, historian, journalist, politician, soldier and public servant, his influence can be seen in numerous areas of the first half of the twentieth century.
