The Advocates Library, founded in 1682, is the law library of the Faculty of Advocates, in Edinburgh.[1] It served as the national deposit library of Scotland until 1925, at which time through an act of Parliament, the National Library of Scotland Act 1925 (15 & 16 Geo. 5. c. 73), the National Library of Scotland was created. All the non-legal collections were transferred to the National Library. Today, it alone of the Scottish libraries still holds the privilege of receiving a copy of every law book entered at Stationers' Hall.
The library forms part of the complex that includes Parliament House, located on the Royal Mile.
