Scotland’s museum gems highlighted in book form

From Pictish Stones to Dolly the Sheep, this selection of over 100 items from the National Museum of Scotland is but a fraction of the veritable treasure trove it stores for the nation.

Published to mark the 150th anniversary of the museum, the book roams through different departments such as Scottish history, archaeology, world cultures and art and design.

Set up to educate and inspire people to connect with Scotland’s past and engage with the present, the museum itself offers a wonderful introduction to the thousands of items which bring to life Scotland’s rich cultural heritage.
