Trinity House of Leith
Trinity House of Leith, Maritime museum in Leith, Scotland
The Trinity House of Leith exhibits ship models, navigational tools, and maritime artifacts within a Georgian building designed by Thomas Brown in 1816.
The Masters and Mariners of Trinity House collected port duties since 1380, using funds to support sick sailors, widows, and orphans in the community.
Four portraits by Scottish painter Sir Henry Raeburn grace the walls, including the celebrated painting of Admiral Duncan in the Georgian period rooms.
The museum opens from April through September with guided tours on Fridays, while remaining closed to visitors during October through March.
The collection includes a French flag captured at the Battle of Trafalgar and a 200-year-old whaling harpoon from maritime expeditions.
