Leighton Library
The Leighton Library, or Bibliotheca Leightoniana, in The Cross, Dunblane, is the oldest purpose built library in Scotland. Its collection of around 4000 volumes and 78 manuscripts from the 16th to 19th Century is founded on the personal collection of Robert Leighton (1611–1684), Bishop of Dunblane and Archbishop of Glasgow, who had left the books to Dunblane Cathedral.
