The Newhaven Heritage Museum was a museum located in the village of Newhaven, within the City of Edinburgh, Scotland. The museum detailed the history of the village, from its inception as a naval shipyard in the early 16th Century through the economic booms of the oyster and herring trades. The museum closed in February 2007 for work on the building but there are no plans for its reopening.

“The heritage of the American Revolution is forgotten, and the American government, for better and for worse, has entered into the heritage of Europe as though it were its patrimony—unaware, alas, of the fact that Europe’s declining power was preceded and accompanied by political bankruptcy, the bankruptcy of the nation-state and its concept of sovereignty.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“Things will not mourn you, people will.”
—Hawaiian saying no. 191, ‘lelo No’Eau, collected, translated, and annotated by Mary Kawena Pukui, Bishop Museum Press, Hawaii (1983)
