In this quieter couple of weeks before the festivals take off in earnest, and while there are children on holiday from school who need to be entertained, there is still time to explore what Museums & Galleries Edinburgh have to offer – with 13 varied venues around the capital including Lauriston Castle, the City Art Centre where there is a major Peter Howson retrospective at the moment, Makers’ Court, the Writers’ Museum, Museum of Edinburgh, The People’s Story Museum, the Museum of Childhood and the Scott Monument. Some but not all are free. More details here.
Museums and Galleries also look after some 200 monuments in the city.
If you would like to spot at least some of the 200 then have a look at the map below.
