4K City Walks: National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh - Virtual Walk Walking Treadmill Video is a bit different than my usual fair. I'm trying something new with this walking tour of the National Museum of Scotland. It's truly one of the most amazing museums I've been to. It's very well done and laid out and the building itself is worth the FREE ENTRY! It has exhibits in science, technology, art, history, culture, and more. My kids love it and we've been at least four times in two trips to Edinburgh. Personally, my favorite part is the atrium. It's so bright and beautiful and airy.
