Friends of Innerpeffray Library
Innerpeffray Library, the oldest surviving public library in Scotland, is hidden away on the bank of the River Earn. Though in a seemingly out-of-the-way location today, in former times it was adjacent to a busy highway that dated back to Roman times, and was for centuries a centre of learning in the community. It houses a priceless collection of rare books that has gradually grown since the original bequest of its founder in 1680.
