This is our round-up of Edinburgh's history museums. We point you towards lots of goodies; the original National Covenant document, (4000 signatures opposing Charles I and his liturgical reforms), the dog collar and feeding bowl which belonged to Greyfriar's Bobby, the Lewis chess pieces, the Democracy for Scotland tent ..... Or maybe you just want to hear about the wealth of medical horrors and intrigues at the city's two medical museums. It's all here.
