Frommer's Review
Down Chalmers Close from the High Street (or pass through the breezeway of the Jury's Hotel from Jeffrey St.) and located in the remnants of the old Holy Trinity church is this lesser-known and calm attraction. Here you can make a wax rubbing (impression) from all sorts of designs, whether prehistorical Pictish motifs or Celtic crosses. Costs start from about £1.50 ($2.75) for simple rubbings that might take an hour or less to execute, though the cost is much more for elaborate brass plates that may occupy an entire day.
