Why you should visit it
The museum is housed in two buildings with very different characters. Visit the roof terrace of the new building for beautiful 360 degree views of the old town. Admire the renovated Victorian grand gallery of the old building when having a cake break in the museum café. And don't miss the chance to learn about Scottish history.
Special tip
Avoid Sundays if you don't like busy times.
