The Brass Rubbing Centre was a great way to learn a little history, do something constructive and have a special souvenier of our trip. My husband and I did a smal rubbing, which was quite inexpensive. It took us about 30 minutes to complete the project. The staff was knowledgeable and very helpful. It was a nice change from looking... more

This was a great way to get a personalized souvenir of a trip to the UK - I guarantee no one else has the same one! This is a great way to spend an hour or two, or a good way to create with your child for as long as they can focus. Making your own rubbing satisfies a basic... more

This is an excellent Centre for all ages. I have now taken my grand children on numerous occasions. Their ages ranging from 4 to 16. The assistant is extremely helpful, and friendly. Prices excellent starting at £1 upwards depending on size of Brass Rubbing. Well done to Edinburgh Council, in funding such an excellent venue for all ages, and Nationalities.. more

The choices of rubbing possibilities were quite varied - something suitable for children all the way to the most experienced. We had a wonderful morning. more

Theres a nice large selection of brasses (or rather reproductions of brasses) from the very small to the 6ft long ones.

A chance to feel your way into the past, make a work of art, take some time to reflect and give your arm a work-out. Trinity Apse is a quiet spot 20 yards off the busy Edinburgh HIgh Street. 10 minutes from the station and 2 minutes from the bus stop. I took 4 kids under 11 and we all... more
