The museum's central location in Selkirk makes it a convenient stop for those exploring the town, though parking can occasionally be challenging. Overall, Sir Walter Scott's Courtroom provides an educational experience for literature enthusiasts and history buffs, but may not appeal to all visitors equally due to its specialized focus.
