O2 WiFi Hotspot Signet Library

The Signet Library in the heart of Edinburgh's old town is synonymous with prestige and Georgian elegance. Steeped in history, the building, with its lower and upper libraries, was completed in 1822 in time for the celebrated visit to Edinburgh of King George IV who described the upper library as the best drawing room in Europe. The Signet Library continues to be owned by The Society of Writers to Her Majesty's Signet ( known as The WS Society) an association of Scottish lawyers and one of the oldest professional bodies in the world. The Society's origins lie in the 15th century as the writers of documents sealed with the Signet, the private seal of the Scottish Kings - hence Writers to the Signet or WS.
