This building was a chantry built in the 13th century. The outer walls and part of the belfry can still be seen. It was later used as school, and in 152 it became the `Free Grammar School of King Edward VI'. It stayed in this building until 1859. The building is now used as a tourist information centre and also houses a Museum of Bagpipes. It is a Grade I Listed Building protected by law.
