The Leighton Library, or Bibliotheca Leightoniana, in The Cross, Dunblane, is the oldest purpose built library in Scotland and also has a well-documented history as one of the earliest public subscription libraries in Scotland. Its collection of around 4000 volumes and 78 manuscripts from the 16th to 19th century is founded on the personal collection of Robert Leighton (1611–1684), Minister at Newbattle, Principal of Edinburgh University, Bishop of Dunblane and Archbishop of Glasgow. Robert Leighton's personal collection consisted of 1,400 books and the Leighton Library was built to host the books which had been left to Dunblane Cathedral.

El edificio de dos pisos, con escalera delantera, se completó en 1687. El edificio es una apartamento con dos bóvedas de piedra y partes de madera. A principios del siglo XX el edificio había caído en el olvido y se vio afectado por la humedad y, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, un refugio antiaéreo fue construido dentro de sus bóvedas. Durante las décadas de 1950 y 1980 tuvo un proceso de renovación, reparación y catalogación , y la biblioteca fue oficialmente reabierta en mayo de 1990.
