As visitors continue walking downhill along Canongate toward Holyroodhouse , they'll see one of the most handsome buildings along the Royal Mile. Built in 1591, the Canongate Tollbooth was once the courthouse, prison, and center of municipal affairs for the burgh of Canongate. It now contains this rather pedestrian museum, which celebrates the social history of the inhabitants of Edinburgh from the late 18th century to the present, with lots of display cases and slightly naff dressed-up mannequins. Still, it offers a chance to get inside the old tollbooth.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
