5 Crichton's Close
Edinburgh, Scotland EH8 8DT
The SPL is one of three poetry libraries in the UK, but the only one to be independently constituted and housed, with a collection that covers 45,000 items. It is the only poetry house in the world to have an extensive lending library at its core. It is housed in an award-winning building. A magical experience for anyone interested in Scotland's literature.
