Meet your guide by the William Chambers Statue. From there, you'll step inside the National Museum of Scotland to delve into Scottish history, science and global culture.

You'll listen to fascinating tales from your guide about Dolly the sheep, the first mammal ever cloned from an adult cell. You'll marvel at the Lewis chessmen, intricately carved from walrus ivory, and the Newcomen engine. You'll unearth the chilling rumours of Satanism and witchcraft surrounding the Arthur's Seat coffins.

Once your guided tour concludes, you can continue exploring the museum at your leisure with a handy audio tour app. You'll uncover Ancient Egyptian artefacts, a towering tyrannosaurus rex skeleton and even the Scottish maiden – a primitive version of the guillotine.
