This was a good little museum with lots of different aspects of peoples lives in Edinburgh through the ages. There was a range of exhibits and we spent a good couple of hours there and it was free. Very enjoyable. There is a larger museum of Scotland which we did not have a chance to visit. More

u get a good day out here plenty to see worth a visit More

Was looking forward on learning about the city and it's people, what a disappointment!!!! The building itself is full of history and looks very interesting - the opposite to what's inside.

The wife and I took out young nieces and nephew (ages 5,6, and 10). We worried they might be bored but were pleasantly surprised that even the younger girls seemed to enjoy themselves.

A diverse range of exhibits so there's probably something for everyone. Disappointing to note that there's an additional fee for the Mummy Exhibition. There's a lot of interactive exhibits (largely intended for children I guess) but a lot of the time they were either confusing (even for an adult) to operate or simply didn't work properly! Quite a confusing place... More

Situated within 16th century Huntly House, about half way down the Canongate, this is a good visit, but as museums go it's much the same as any other. Of particular interest will be the collar worn by "Greyfriars Bobby" and the declaration of the Freedom of Edinburgh that was bestowed on this well known wee dog. Many other interesting snippets...
