Description
The town house at no. 45 was built in 1490 but has been extended. During his term as the parish priest of St Giles, John Knox lived here and in two other houses. A museum in this building recalls the life of the great reformer and a facsimile of his principal work "History of the Reformation in Scotland" and as well as his tirade against "The Monstrous Regiment of Women" are on display. Contemporary prints and writings provide background information on the reformation in Scotland.
