It dates from 1796, when those who could afford it began to escape from the cramped, squalid conditions of Edinburgh's Old Town. Perched high on an extinct volcanic outcrop, Edinburgh Castle dominates the capital's skyline with stunning views across the World Heritage listed Old and New Towns, and out to the Firth of Forth. The Museum houses an outstanding collection of paintings, drawings and prints by the greatest artists from the Renaissance to Post-Impressionism which is shown alongside the national connection of Scottish art. It is constructed of Binnie stone, taken from shale workings near Linlithgow. The Writers' Museum has significant collections relating to the lives and works of Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson.
