Edinburgh
Situated in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town in a landmark building, the National Museum of Scotland is made up of the Museum of Scotland and Royal Museum and opened in 1998. With free admission, the National Museum of Scotland tells the story of Scotland, its land, people and culture. See treasures from the edges of history and trace Scotland's story from fascinating fossils to popular culture.
The unusual, the weird and the wonderful - all under one roof, as well as the Discovery Zones, ideal for the younger visitors: Roman soldier or Viking trader, connect with Dolly the sheep, design a robot, test drive a Formula One car, power up a generator or blast off into outer space. With regular events and special exhibitions, the National Museum of Scotland is an ideal free tourist attraction to discover more about Scotland.
