Museum of EdinburghGet to grips with the mystery and magic of the ancient city of
Edinburgh at the museum dedicated to its history, from prehistoric
times to the present day. The Museum of Edinburgh contains
important collections all relevant to the city's history, from
pottery to documents, shop signs to silverware. The building in
which the museum is housed is also of interest, dating from the
16th century with a chequered history of ownership and tenancy by a
variety of people from aristocrats to common workers. There is a
gift shop on the ground floor, and although there is no food or
drink allowed, there are a number of pubs and restaurants
nearby.
