The 'Advocates' Library' is a
law library belonging to the
Faculty of Advocates in
Edinburgh, founded in
1682. Until
1925 it was the
deposit library for
Scotland, after which the role was taken on by the
National Library of Scotland.
All the non-legal collections were gifted to the National Library. Today, it alone of the Scottish libraries still holds the privilege of receiving a copy of every law book entered at
Stationers' Hall. The library forms part of the complex that includes
Parliament House.
