National War Museum edinburgh

The Scottish National War Museum tells the story of the Scottish military during wars troughout the years from the middle ages to the current wars. There are a lot of displays with original uniforms, weapons, flags, medals, and so on. There are a lot of storyboards that explain step by step all about the naval, air and land armies. You can easily wander around for an hour or longer. As it is inside the Edinburgh Castle area, you don't need to pay an extra fine.

A place to understand Scotland history between the Highlands and lowlands and how Scotland became part of England empire and how Scotland's people were soldiers. Well and proud why they have meaning and purpose for there country and nation.

This should be a much higher rating given the wealth of history on display however the low ambient lighting made it nigh on impossible for anyone in our party to read the exhibit descriptions. A quick glance through some of other reviews suggests this is not a one off.

Often overlooked with the castle being so close but definitely worth a visit.

Very nice museum in a top location at Edinburgh Castle. Nice grouped exhibits, much information and explanation. Different guiding possibilities. As non-UK tourist maybe to much distance in comprehension but that is no problem at all. You pick what you want.

Absolutely brilliant! So much history in one place! The museum is located inside the Edinburg Castle. Don't miss it! It's a must see.

A lot of swords, medals and military uniform. I liked it for the array of quality of craftsmanship as well as the paintings and early documents. I feel you like this kind of museum you'll be very happy with what's on show.

Very fascinating and thought provoking about what happened over hundreds of years up to the modern day .

Fantastic, full of interesting items and facts. Love it everytime.

Very interesting museum. Wouldnt recommend for kids not alot of to do things. But defo worth the visit
