truly enjoyed my stay at The Scott. The property is beautifully designed in an elegant Scottish style that makes you feel like you’re staying in a small castle — a perfect blend of charm and understated luxury. The staff were exceptionally polite and attentive, always ready to help with any questions or requests. Although the room was not very large, it was thoughtfully furnished, cozy, and had everything we needed. I particularly appreciated the small touches — like the daily treats, cookies, and coffee provided in the room. These little details made the whole experience feel extra special and warm. I would also like to highlight the breakfast — the atmosphere was simply wonderful. The dining room was stunning, the service excellent, and the food both delicious and beautifully presented. There was a nice selection to choose from, and it truly felt like a luxurious start to the day — the perfect way to begin exploring Edinburgh.

    This is by far the most well organized and interesting ways...

    This is by far the most well organized and interesting ways to express information that I have experienced. We found one day just got you started. I would advice one to get the layout of the divisions and plan several days to visit. I wish we had. My; daughter and I have studied and she has worked in archeology. Having the museum include the modern time next to the ancient time was refreshing.

    Love this place.

    Love this place. If you've come to see Scotland, see Scotland but also come here and know more. A great contrast to the noise and spectacle of the Edinburgh Festival; a treat for the mind. Lovely soup and cheese scone under the gaze of a stone cat commissioned by King Amenhotep!! Then up close and personal with David Coulthard's RB2.

    Very good venue - to see it all would take days.

    Very good venue - to see it all would take days. Best advice is to pick a section and really look at it - gives you an excuse for a return trip to Edinburgh to see another bit of the museum, along with all the other atractions.

    Do not miss this place!

    Do not miss this place! It is huge and we could have spent all day there. An incredibly beautiful building. It was quite overwhelming at first to know where to start as there isn’t a route as such to follow. It was very busy and crowded in some areas and empty in others. Impossible to sit down in the cafe as it was so busy but there are lots of seats fitted around if you need a break. We almost missed it but there is a roof terrace which is well worth a visit with super views of the city. And it’s free!!!! But there are donation stations for making your own choice of what to give. A duper super place!!
