Dovecot Studios

The shop and gallery at Dovecot Studios

A world-class tapestry studio and contemporary arts-and-crafts centre housed in what was once Edinburgh’s oldest public baths, Dovecot has a remarkable history dating back a century. You can watch the weavers at work from a viewing platform above the workshop. The shop and the cafe, which is run by Leo’s Beanery, are excellent, too.
