National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh
As work came to a close for us in Edinburgh and we resigned ourselves to moving to London, we took advantage of all the free touristy stuff to do in the capital. This museum is my number one pick for how to spend a rainy day in the city. Not only is the building beautiful, but it’s crammed full of crap, stuffed and stolen from every corner of the earth. Colonial museums to tend to have a bit of an appropriate-y vibe (and this one is no exception), but even with that in mind it’s a great day out for any massive nerd. The interactive exhibits in the science/modern world sections are worth going for on their own - they have Dolly the sheep, in the wool, standing against a background of old F1 cars. I tell ya it’s a sight to behold.Â
