    National Museum of Scotland

    There are five floors of exhibits to see with a range of Topics from Animal World on level One to Ancient Egypt on Level Five. There is lots to see and do enough to spend an entire day there. Overall I had a positive experience for a free attraction. I would definitely visit again but outside of the school holidays as it was extremely busy.
