Symbols of Scotland Museum Tour

Scots are associated with all sorts of symbols – from the saltire of our national flag to the unicorn. What are they, and what do they signify?  

We will answer all of your questions and share the intriguing stories behind the symbols. 

Discover the story of Scotland through our capital city and our National Museum. You will see the places where history happened and follow our story through iconic exhibitions.

You’ll meet your Master Storyteller in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town at the Mercat Cross, the site of executions and proclamations. Together you will explore key locations and stories hidden around the Royal Mile. See a city of the past, which goes unnoticed for many, a city where commoners, Queens and criminals once walked. 

Iconic Scottish objects mixed with streets soaked in history

Follow your Master Storyteller to the National Museum of Scotland where our nation’s treasures are stored. Once inside we will introduce the Scottish collections. You’ll step through Scotland’s history, using rare objects, and hear how they all have shaped our past, present and future.

Working exclusively with the National Museum of Scotland, we’ve created a museum tour of their extensive Scotland collections.
