Scottish Dinosaurs??

I am hoping the collective wisdom of mumsnet will be able to help with DS1's latest request... He is desperate to go to a museum with a dinosaur in it . Does such a thing exist in Scotland? We're in the NE of Scotland but would be willing to travel a bit.... I'm assuming a dead one will do otherwise I really am fucked

Doesn't the National Museum on Chambers Street in Edinburgh have one? Bit of a journey from the NE but a pretty good day out...

Yes, the National Museum has dinosaurs and its a fab day out too! Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow also has one set of dinosaur bones - it's fairly local to us and is good for a morning or afternoon out. National Museum can fil a whole day easily.

Edinburgh it is ladies! Thank you now I just have to decide whether I can handle 3 hours of Gangnam Style (complete with sing along and hand jiving) on the journey down

Personally I'd go to Glasgow (not just cos I live there) as there's a lot more other things to do. Depends how old he is - I don't think I'd manage a whole day at any museum with mine and they're 9,11,13!
