National Museum of Scotland

Published on 16 May 2014

After some porridge for breakfast, we went to the National Museum of Scotland. Great place! Too much to see in just a couple of hours, but at least that way there’s something for everybody.

This time I had a closer look at the exhibition about the Jacobites.

HIST Discovers Edinburgh

Since it’s quite hard to blog without being anti-social when travelling in a group, here’s just a little photo impression of yesterday, including a guided tour of the city and a visit to Edinburgh Castle.

The gang is complete now! After settling in at the hostel or apartment, we went to The City Cafe for dinner, then for a little walk and some drinks.

A fine start of this trip, I’d say.
