[2025 Edinburgh Attraction] Travel Guide for National Library of Scotland (Updated May)

#外游 #英国旅行 #文学之旅 Before visiting the #famousattraction National Library of Scotland, you may want to experience the cultural culture of visual arts. The #NationalLibraryofScotland, a national treasure house, has two #freeexhibitions, one of which is Treasures of National Library of Scotland. As the name suggests, the #exhibits on display are extremely precious. The library has one of the largest collections of Scottish Gaelic printed books and manuscripts in the world. #The exhibition features Gaelic medical manuscripts dating back to the 15th century and the Iona Psalter, an illuminated devotional text containing sacred songs known as psalms from 1180-1220; medieval maps, passports, letters and Harry Potter books, among other items. When appreciating these treasures, one feels as if one has found a treasure 🥰🥰. One can fully feel how much the Scottish people treasure the items of historical and cultural heritage, and how they spare no effort in preserving #ScottishHistory, so that future generations can clearly understand the historical process of this nation in all aspects! 👏👏 The adjacent #exhibition hall displays the tools and techniques used to make medieval books. The design techniques for modern books 📚 focus on beautiful #artistic visual effects, showing the continuous evolution of book making from ancient times to the present. The designs of the modern books 📚 on display are extremely exquisite, reflecting the unique and rich #artdesign of each artist, which can inspire our creative imagination. It is so beautiful that I also want to take them home to collect them! 😍😍 These two #exhibition areas can be said to display cultural treasures from ancient times and modern times, forming a strong contrast, allowing people to see what changes the progress of civilization will bring to the world. How can such a precious #cultural exhibition be missed! 👍👍 #tourism #tourist attractions #tourist attraction recommendation #tourist attraction #sightseeing holy place #sightseeing attraction #attractions #popular attractions #good places to check in #popular exhibition #art exhibition #cultural exhibition #cultural center #good places for young people #cultural tour #consumption voucher strategy

I enjoy a library break as much as any reader does so when I wandered past The National Library, I had to visit inside. Currently the library has 2 exhibits running, these are small but incredibly interesting - I particularly enjoyed reading and looking at the information surrounding Scottish Folktales. There is some interactivity included in the exhibits but mostly it’s built on enjoyment of history. Visit the shop after to see a selection of Scottish based books, these are really different to what you would find waiting in Waterstones. #localguides #Edinburgh #Library

It has a medieval Old Town and elegant Georgian New Town with gardens and neoclassical buildings.
