Innerleithen, Scottish Borders
★★★
This letterpress printers in Innerleithen centre is a survivor from the Victorian era, when the village bustled as a spa destination. Amazingly, the business is still operational, run by the National Trust for Scotland both commercially (the oldest of its type left in the UK) and as a tourist attraction. Inside, you can see how newspapers, posters and other printed materials used to be made, and try creating a sentence (or maybe just a few words) yourself.
