Your next Edinburgh adventure starts here.
The National Museum of Scotland is free to enter - you can visit any time you like! This trip is to give you a little helping hand in exploring your new city - so our Reps will meet you at the Student Union, take you by Bus to the Museum (you will need your own bus fare or Ridacard) where you can explore the museum for a couple of hours before our Reps will bring you back to campus on the bus again. So while you don't need to pay for a ticket, we do ask you to "buy" a ticket for this trip so we can manage how many of you we can realistically look after!
