It’s billed as Scotland’s largest free festival celebrating architecture, culture and heritage - and Doors Open 2026 has recruited quite a few more buildings ready to invite the public in to see behind the scenes.
The annual event takes places in different parts of the country on different dates - Midlothian’s Doors Open Days were last weekend, Saturday and Sunday, September 12 and 13, and West Lothian will be following suit next weekend, September 19 and 20.
Edinburgh’s turn comes on Saturday and Sunday, September 26 and 27. More than 100 sites in the Capital have signed up to take part.
We’ve already featured 29 places you can visit that weekend - and here’s another 25 also willing to welcome people in for a look around.
