Views from the Rooftop of the National Museum of Scotland

In almost every single city I have visited over the last 6 months, I think it becomes a never-ending quest to find the best views. Today, Anjali took us to the rooftop of the National Museum of Scotland for what she felt are some of the best views of Edinburgh!

It reminds me of the the MET’s rooftop in NYC!

Not many people know about the museum’s rooftop terrace since you have to wind through multiple exhibits to find the only elevator that can take you to the right floor. But once you get there, the views are indeed quite amazing!

Arthur’s Seat

I am very short so it took some precarious climbing to get the best views of Arthur’s Seat and Edinburgh Castle. I do not recommend climbing over the benches since there’s a guard on patrol who would politely tell you to get down from your perch (oops!). If you are on the tall side, this is probably one of the best places to view the most famous landmarks of Edinburgh!
