    Very impressive Museum , it has a gift shop with reasonable prices. I like very much of the Pipe man at the entrance of the museum . inside the museum you can watch short video of the royal scots dragoon gurds history along with scots royal history. If you like to go through the details at least u must spend morethan one hour. Recommended Place to visit.

    Take your picture with the statue of the Dragoon Guard with bagpipes (saw this a few times). Like some of the other exhibits, this is a walk in time showcasing the history of Scotland’s only cavalry regiment (Royal Scots Dragoon Guards). You will see their uniforms, weapons, medals, paintings, and other artifacts from their 300 years of history. There is also a gift shop so you can purchase some souvenirs to remember the museum.
