Doors Open Day - Abbey Strand

Step inside the beautifully conserved Abbey Strand Centre to explore five centuries of history this Doors Open weekend. Discover how the building was used as a weapons store during the reign of James V; as courtiers’ lodgings for the court of Mary, Queen of Scots; as a sanctuary for some 6,000 people in debt; and a site of taverns and tearooms.

Drop in to see historic spaces and discover fascinating stories and, why not join a guided tour of the Physic Garden at 11:00, 13:00 or 15:00 to explore a chapter of health and wellbeing history at Holyroodhouse.
