Devoted solely to the history and heritage of Scotland, the building contains five thematically-arranged exhibitions, moving from pre-history, through the Industrial Revolution, to the present day, at which point national heroes such as Billy Connolly and Elaine C. Smith get involved. The collections tell you the story of Scotland - its land, its people and culture. The museum covers life, the universe and everything in it. Some exhibits are millions of years old, others less than a decade.
