The Edinburgh Castle Gallery traces the military history of Scotland from the 17th century to the present day. Within the historical setting of Edinburgh Castle, tales of lost and won battles are told as well as displays of military artefacts and collection of personal belongings. When you visit the museum you'll learn about Scots' life at war, from the trenches of World War I to the home front, and learn how conflicts both at home and abroad have helped shape Scotland's image and reputation over the centuries. .
