National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh

Fabulous, you would need a whole week to get around it and appreciate it all, I recommend dedicating a day to each floor! Free entry, no queue, cafe and toilets inside. I found there was sections that I loved, the millennium clock for example, wow, and the animal exhibits, and the Eskimo section, I apologise, I'm sure it's called something different, but they have coats made out of intestines! And pottery and glass, and theatrical masks, and telephones through the ages, I remember using the A and B buttoned phones via an operator, and that's the early 1980s, not that long ago surely 😬 cars and engines through the ages, and wheelchairs, bikes, light aircraft, medical equipment, it's all just fascinating. Allow yourself a whole day for this delight or at least a decent afternoon. Don't forget your camera.

Stunning building which is nice and bright, not overcrowded. Nice to be able to enter for free and have donation points around the place. Some really nice points of interest and they look to have some regular short term exhibits. Only downside is we found there were lots of kids running wild from school trips. They seemed to be mainly around the nature areas so it did quiet down around other areas. The roof terrace has a great view.
