Go! Building interior is gorgeous, spread over several floors. Staff were well informed and v happy to share their knowledge. I focussed on Scottish history sections - really interesting. Small, important point - many labels had print peeling off - a shame but easily rectified

The museum will take more than a couple of hours to see and experience. There is so much to see and learn. The museum is free except for special exhibits. While visiting the museum we paid and saw the exhibit on Celtic. The building is old and wonderful and worth seeing.

All of this within a fantastic building that is itself an exhibit worth seeing. There is also a coffee shop and cafe on site and if... More
