Uncover 800 years of Scottish history at the National Museum of Scotland, led by a Master Storyteller.

Discover the story of Scotland through our capital city and our National Museum. You will see the places where history happened and follow our story through iconic exhibitions. 

You’ll meet your Master Storyteller in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town at the Mercat Cross, the site of executions and proclamations. Together you will explore key locations and stories hidden around the Royal Mile as you make your way to the National Museum of Scotland.  

See a city of the past, which goes unnoticed for many. A city where commoners, Queens and criminals once walked.
