      The National Museum of Scotland, commonly referred to as the Royal Museum, is one of the country's premier cultural institutions. This museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in Scotland’s history, art, science, and the natural world, with expansive collections that cover everything from prehistoric artifacts to cutting-edge technology. Opened in 1866, the building itself is an architectural marvel, with its Victorian facade and grand central atrium known as the Grand Gallery.
