Museums of Scotland
There are several wonderful Museums; Museum of Flight, Rural Life, War, Costume.
The National Museum of Scotland is in Edinburgh and should not be missed. Great for a stroll on a wet day. See what events you might be able to book into online.

The Real Mary King's Close
There are so many 'Closes' in Edinburgh and this one reveals the 'quotidien' of the people that lived in this Close since the 1600s. Open 7 days a week, 10am to 4pm in Winter and 8pm in the Summer months.
Pre-booking is apparently obligatory as each tour departs every 20 minutes and lasts up to 1 hour.
