Extract from An Edinburgh Companion.
Come armed with coins to drop in slots and bring to life Sweeney Todd and other less-gruesome mechanical diversions, part of a collection of childhood toys and games that, though small, is wide in scope – Blue Peter annuals, teddy bears, miniature butcher’s shop and a 21-room dolls house included. A gift shop is stocked with the sort of keenly priced novelties – flying dinosaurs, bouncing putty, plastic animal sound toys – that will presumably find their way into the collection in due course.
