We loved the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition at the National Museums Scotland for Edinburgh Science
'★★★★★ A stunning exhibition featuring some outstanding memorable images of wildlife. The book is also excellent!
Meanwhile of course the museum itself continues to provide a fantastic family day out.'

🗣️ “Fascinating and very thought provoking. Visit if you like to be challenged. Visit if you like to be entertained. Just visit!”
