National Museum of Scotland
The National Museum of Scotland ( Click here ) charts the history of the country from geo-
logical beginnings to the present day. Highlights include the Monymusk Reliquary, a tiny
silver casket dating from 750 (said to have been carried into battle with Robert the Bruce at
Bannockburn in 1314), and the Lewis Chessmen, a set of charming 12th-century chess
pieces made from walrus ivory.
