The Museum of Fire was a museum of firefighting in the Lothians, located in Edinburgh. It was first open from 1968 to 2016,[1] with its last location being in the old fire station in Lauriston Place, Edinburgh.[2]

A new museum, which incorporates the history of all Scottish firefighting, called Museum of Scottish Fire Heritage located at the McDonald Road Community Fire Station will open in 2023.[3][4]
