Entrance Hall, 14 India Street, Edinburgh
We give tours of James Clerk Maxwell’s birthplace:
The Foundation bought the house at 14 India Street Edinburgh in 1993. This elegant Georgian house, after period restoration, displays a growing collection of heritage material associated with James Clerk Maxwell, his associates and family circle.
We offer guided, in-person tours of the house as well as a virtual interactive tour which allows you to explore the rooms and exhibits in detail.
Please see here for details of real and virtual tours.
