Robert Smails Printshop

In the small town of Innerleithen, Scotland stand the print shop of Robert Smail. Founded in 1866.

From Wikipedia we learn that...

The firm was established in 1866, carrying out print jobs for the local community as well as operating a stationer's shop, and between 1893 and 1916 published a weekly newspaper. It remained in the ownership of the Smail family, who made little effort to keep up with twentieth-century advances in technology, and, through an initiative from Innerleithen Community Council, led by Iain Henderson and Nettie Watson, was run by the third-generation owner Cowan Smail until he retired and the property was acquired by the National Trust for Scotland in 1986 and opened to the public in 1990.^[1] Visitors are given a one-hour tour showing the various stages of the process as well as a chance to try hand typesetting, and at certain times the opportunity to print their own work. The building is protected as a category C(s) listed building.^[2]

There's lots of cool old items here to see, such as this manual cash register. 

It looks much as it must have when the doors closed. There are electric lights and such, but there are still plenty of vintage pieces of equipment.

On the tour, we saw a variety of old printing equipment and tools.
