Robert Smail's Printing Works

Get your hands inky at this living museum of a thriving printing firm in the Borders, whose premises were more or less unchanged for over a century.

Try your hand at being a printer's apprentice to learn the almost forgotten art of letterpress printing and typesetting.

Schools are welcomed and visits are very much tailored to suit the needs and requirements of the school.

The print works offers scope on a variety of topics and in the past we have successfully run drama, drawing and of course printing workshops.
