Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM9966 - A crisp winter view of the Playfair Monument and the observatory dome at the City Observatory complex on Calton Hill in Edinburgh. The building is presented as a bold neoclassical composition: heavy stone blocks, a temple-like form, and rows of classical columns supporting a pediment on each end. Behind and between the two porticoes, the pale observatory dome rises above the roofline, giving a clear visual link to astronomy and scientific heritage. The sky is a deep, clean blue with bright cold-season light that sharpens the edges of the stonework and makes the architecture feel monumental and timeless.
The foreground includes rough winter vegetation and low grasses, which helps communicate the hilltop setting and the feel of an open public park rather than a busy street location. The overall atmosphere suggests a dry, cold day with excellent visibility, the kind of weather that draws visitors up Calton Hill for panoramic views and landmark photography. The image has strong editorial value because it captures an instantly recognisable Edinburgh heritage site, while remaining uncluttered by crowds.
This photograph suits themes such as Edinburgh tourism, Scotland travel, neoclassical architecture, historic observatories, and the city's long association with science and the Enlightenment. It also works well as a general location illustration for Calton Hill, conservation, and heritage-led destination marketing, particularly for winter city-break coverage where clear skies and crisp light are part of the story.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM99BH - A wide, editorial winter view of Edinburgh's Dynamic Earth science centre and planetarium on Holyrood Road, photographed at the foot of Holyrood Park. The distinctive tensile white roof and mast supports form a sharp modern silhouette against the dark slope of Salisbury Crags, with crisp low-angle sunlight picking out the contours of the rock face and the building's curved canopy. In the foreground, a red open-top double-decker sightseeing bus pulls into the turning circle and bus stop, while a bundled-up pedestrian waits beside the pole. The cobbled roadway, hard shadows, and clear blue sky suggest cold, bright conditions typical of an Edinburgh winter morning or late afternoon.
The composition works as a clear piece of place storytelling: contemporary visitor transport framed by one of the city's most dramatic natural backdrops. Dynamic Earth sits beside major Edinburgh landmarks, including the Scottish Parliament and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, so the image can support coverage of city tourism, science learning, family attractions, school trips, and the wider Holyrood area's role in Scotland's cultural and civic life. The tour bus adds an immediate commercial cue about hop-on hop-off routes, sightseeing circuits, and seasonal city breaks, while the clean architecture and open space around the entrance convey accessibility and modern public engagement.
Text and signage are present in the scene, including the prominent Dynamic Earth building identity (partially obscured by the Alamy watermark) and bus stop information, which helps anchor the image for editorial use. The winter setting adds extra utility for stories about off-season tourism, low-emission travel choices, and how attractions operate year-round in northern European cities. Overall, it is a strong, recognisable Edinburgh location image combining transport, architecture, landscape, and travel mood in a single frame.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6EF - A wide-angle view of V&A Dundee, Scotland's national design museum, situated on the River Tay at 1 Riverside Esplanade, Dundee DD1 4EZ, photographed alongside RSS Discovery, the historic wooden research ship permanently moored at nearby Discovery Point. The image captures a striking juxtaposition between contemporary architecture and one of the most important vessels in the history of Antarctic exploration.
The V&A Dundee, designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, is inspired by Scotland's dramatic coastal geology and forms the centrepiece of Dundee's waterfront regeneration. Opened as part of a major redevelopment of the former industrial docks, the museum represents Dundee's transition from a manufacturing and maritime city to a centre for design, culture and education.
In the foreground lies RSS Discovery, built in Dundee in 1901 and famously used by Captain Robert Falcon Scott for his first Antarctic expedition. The ship is one of the best-preserved examples of a purpose-built polar research vessel and symbolises the city's historic role in shipbuilding, scientific innovation and global exploration. Its permanent presence on the Tay connects Dundee directly to the era known as the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.
The calm water of the Tay reflects both the angular modern form of the museum and the tall masts and rigging of the Discovery, visually linking past and present. Photographed in daylight under clear skies, the scene illustrates how Dundee's maritime heritage and contemporary cultural ambitions coexist on the same stretch of riverfront.
The image holds strong editorial value for themes including Scottish heritage, exploration history, modern architecture, museum-led regeneration and cultural tourism, making it suitable for use in travel features, history publications, educational material and design-focused editorial content.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CGCJPB - This photograph shows the exterior signage of a Warhammer store in Manchester city centre, featuring the distinctive hammer-and-wing logo and bold black-and-white branding associated with the tabletop gaming franchise. Warhammer is produced and retailed by Games Workshop, a British company founded in the 1970s that has grown into a globally recognised name in fantasy and science fiction gaming.
The Manchester store forms part of Games Workshop's network of dedicated retail outlets across the UK and internationally, selling miniature figures, rulebooks, paints, and accessories for Warhammer games such as Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar. These shops often double as community spaces, hosting demonstrations, painting sessions, and organised play, helping sustain a strong hobby culture alongside direct retail.
The sign's clean, high-contrast design makes it instantly recognisable to fans of the brand, while its placement on a modern city centre frontage reflects the mainstreaming of gaming and hobby retail within high street environments. Once considered niche, tabletop gaming now sits comfortably alongside fashion, technology, and food outlets in major urban shopping areas.
Taken in daylight, the image works both as a straightforward record of branded retail signage and as an illustration of contemporary pop culture presence on the British high street. It is suitable for editorial use in stories about gaming culture, specialist retail, leisure industries, and the changing mix of city centre shopping in Manchester and other UK cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAX8F - Pedestrian wayfinding signs in the Castlefield area of Manchester city centre, England, directing walkers towards major cultural, civic, and visitor destinations including Manchester Central, Bridgewater Hall, the Museum of Science and Industry, Roman Gardens, the Great Northern Warehouse, and Castlefield Youth Hostel. Castlefield is recognised as Manchester's first designated urban heritage park and is known for its Roman origins, canal basins, and surviving industrial infrastructure.
The blue and white signposts form part of the city's pedestrian navigation system, designed to encourage walking between transport hubs, cultural venues, historic sites, and leisure areas. The signs reflect the layered character of Castlefield, where Roman archaeology, Victorian canals and railways, and modern cultural buildings coexist within a compact city-centre district.
The image highlights themes of urban wayfinding, heritage-led regeneration, and the role of public realm infrastructure in supporting tourism, everyday movement, and accessibility in major British cities. It also illustrates how Manchester promotes walkability and connects historic neighbourhoods with contemporary cultural and commercial centres.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAXFH - This photograph shows the exterior of Campfield Studios, located on Liverpool Road in the Castlefield district of Manchester city centre. The building is the former Campfield Market Hall, a substantial Victorian iron-and-glass structure dating from the late nineteenth century, designed to support Manchester's role as a global centre of industry, trade, and transport during the industrial revolution.
The hall stands immediately adjacent to the Liverpool Road railway corridor, home to the world's first passenger railway station and later the core site of the Science and Industry Museum. Its architecture reflects classic Victorian engineering, with decorative iron columns, glazed sections, and a symmetrical facade that was originally intended to accommodate covered markets and storage linked to canal and rail traffic in the surrounding area.
After decades of industrial decline and underuse, the building has been carefully restored and repurposed as Campfield Studios, a modern cultural and events venue. The retained historic frontage, signage, and structural details illustrate Manchester's approach to heritage-led regeneration, where former industrial and science buildings are adapted for contemporary uses while preserving their architectural character.
Taken in daylight with light cloud cover, the image captures the building as part of the evolving Manchester streetscape, highlighting both its Victorian origins and its modern identity. Campfield Studios now forms an important part of Castlefield's wider regeneration, sitting alongside museums, canals, offices, and residential developments, and symbolising the city's transition from industrial powerhouse to a centre for culture, leisure, and creative industries.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAXHJ - This image shows the interior of Campfield Studios, located on Liverpool Road in the Castlefield area of Manchester city centre. The building forms part of the historic Campfield Market Hall complex, a substantial Victorian iron-and-glass structure originally developed in the late nineteenth century to support Manchester's booming industrial economy. The wider site sits alongside the world-famous Liverpool Road railway buildings, closely linked to the early development of the Science and Industry Museum and Manchester's role as the birthplace of the industrial revolution.
Originally designed as a covered market and storage space serving the surrounding canals, railways, and warehouses, the hall later fell into decline as industrial uses moved on. In recent years it has been sensitively regenerated and reborn as Campfield Studios, a flexible cultural and events venue that blends historic industrial architecture with modern hospitality and performance spaces.
The photograph captures the hall in active use, filled with people attending a live music and social event. Temporary bars, food stalls, and performance equipment sit beneath the exposed iron columns and high roof structure, highlighting the adaptive reuse of the space. The mix of seated and standing visitors reflects the building's modern role as a community hub for markets, concerts, exhibitions, and social gatherings, while the original Victorian engineering remains clearly visible.
Taken during warmer months, with light flooding in through large windows and open entrances, the scene illustrates Manchester's ongoing regeneration of its industrial heritage. Campfield Studios stands as a strong example of how historic science and industry buildings in northern England have been successfully repurposed for contemporary urban life, culture, and leisure, while retaining a strong sense of place and historical continuity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2CBTEG2 - Stephen William Hawking CH CBE FRS FRSA (8 January 1942 ? 14 March 2018) was an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author who was director of research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology at the University of Cambridge at the time of his death. He was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge between 1979 and 2009.
Hawking was born in Oxford into a family of doctors. Hawking began his university education at University College, Oxford in October 1959 at the age of 17, where he received a first-class BA (Hons.) degree in physics. He began his graduate work at Trinity Hall, Cambridge in October 1962, where he obtained his PhD degree in applied mathematics and theoretical physics, specialising in general relativity and cosmology in March 1966.
In 1963, Hawking was diagnosed with an early-onset slow-progressing form of motor neurone disease (also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's disease) that gradually paralysed him over the decades. After the loss of his speech, he was able to communicate through a speech-generating device?initially through use of a handheld switch, and eventually by using a single cheek muscle.
Hawking's scientific works included a collaboration with Roger Penrose on gravitational singularity theorems in the framework of general relativity and the theoretical prediction that black holes emit radiation, often called Hawking radiation. Hawking was the first to set out a theory of cosmology explained by a union of the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. He was a vigorous supporter of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Hawking achieved commercial success with several works of popular science in which he discussed his theories and cosmology in general. His book A Brief History of Time appeared on the Sunday Times bestseller list for a record-breaking 237 weeks. Hawking was a Fellow of the Royal Society.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AAT2NW - Eastside City Park is a 6.75 acre (2.73 ha) urban park located in the Eastside district of Birmingham City Centre. Designed by architects Patel taylor with landscape architect Allain Provost, the park was opened to the public on 5 December 2012 at a cost of ?11.75 million. Lining the frontage of Millennium Point, the park provides 14,300 square metres of landscaped green space, 310 trees, a 110 metres (360 ft) canal water feature and a public square incorporating 21 jet fountains.
In 2004, discussions began with the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), outlining the preliminary processes regarding the development of the site.
A May 2007 Big Lottery Fund request was filed for ?25million, but was rejected in October of the same year. Birmingham City Council later pledged ?5million to begin the project.
The Eastside City Park runs from the remaining portion of Park Street Gardens, northwards past the Masshouse development where and in an easterly direction along Curzon Street, past Curzon Street railway station and Millennium Point
the park terminates at the front of Birmingham City University's Parkside campus building.
The park was designed by Architects Patel Taylor with French Landscape Architect Allain Provost who gained commission for the project in 2006. Development of the park commenced in August 2011 by contractors Wates. The park partially opened to the public on 5 December 2012 and officially opened on 16 March 2013.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RFF5JN - Turing has been honoured in various ways in Manchester, the city where he worked towards the end of his life. In 1994, a stretch of the A6010 road (the Manchester city intermediate ring road) was named Alan Turing Way. A bridge carrying this road was widened, and carries the name Alan Turing Bridge. A statue of Turing was unveiled in Manchester on 23 June 2001 in Sackville Park, between the University of Manchester building on Whitworth Street and Canal Street. The memorial statue depicts the father of computer science sitting on a bench at a central position in the park. Turing is shown holding an apple. The cast bronze bench carries in relief the text 'Alan Mathison Turing 1912?1954', and the motto 'Founder of Computer Science' as it could appear if encoded by an Enigma machine: 'IEKYF ROMSI ADXUO KVKZC GUBJ'. However, the meaning of the coded message is disputed, as the 'u' in 'computer' matches up with the 'u' in 'ADXUO'. As a letter encoded by an enigma machine can not appear as itself, the actual message behind the code is uncertain.[207]
Turing memorial statue plaque in Sackville Park, Manchester
A plaque at the statue's feet reads 'Father of computer science, mathematician, logician, wartime codebreaker, victim of prejudice'. There is also a Bertrand Russell quotation: Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty?a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture. The sculptor buried his own old Amstrad computer under the plinth as a tribute to the godfather of all modern computers - The Alan Turing Memorial, situated in Sackville Park in Manchester, England, is in memory of Alan Turing, a pioneer of modern computing. Turing is believed to have committed suicide in 1954 two years after being convicted of gross indecency (i.e. homosexual acts).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RFF5JR - Turing has been honoured in various ways in Manchester, the city where he worked towards the end of his life. In 1994, a stretch of the A6010 road (the Manchester city intermediate ring road) was named Alan Turing Way. A bridge carrying this road was widened, and carries the name Alan Turing Bridge. A statue of Turing was unveiled in Manchester on 23 June 2001 in Sackville Park, between the University of Manchester building on Whitworth Street and Canal Street. The memorial statue depicts the father of computer science sitting on a bench at a central position in the park. Turing is shown holding an apple. The cast bronze bench carries in relief the text 'Alan Mathison Turing 1912?1954', and the motto 'Founder of Computer Science' as it could appear if encoded by an Enigma machine: 'IEKYF ROMSI ADXUO KVKZC GUBJ'. However, the meaning of the coded message is disputed, as the 'u' in 'computer' matches up with the 'u' in 'ADXUO'. As a letter encoded by an enigma machine can not appear as itself, the actual message behind the code is uncertain.[207]
Turing memorial statue plaque in Sackville Park, Manchester
A plaque at the statue's feet reads 'Father of computer science, mathematician, logician, wartime codebreaker, victim of prejudice'. There is also a Bertrand Russell quotation: Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty?a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture. The sculptor buried his own old Amstrad computer under the plinth as a tribute to the godfather of all modern computers - The Alan Turing Memorial, situated in Sackville Park in Manchester, England, is in memory of Alan Turing, a pioneer of modern computing. Turing is believed to have committed suicide in 1954 two years after being convicted of gross indecency (i.e. homosexual acts). As such he is as much a gay icon as an icon of computing, and it is no coincidence that this memorial is situated near Canal Street, Manchester's gay village.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RGKEYT - Bayer AG is a German multinational pharmaceutical and life sciences company and one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. Headquartered in Leverkusen, where its illuminated corporate logo, the Bayer cross, is a landmark, Bayer's areas of business include human and veterinary pharmaceuticals
consumer healthcare products
agricultural chemicals and biotechnology products
and high-value polymers. The company is a component of the Euro Stoxx 50 stock market index. Werner Baumann has been CEO since 2016.
Founded in Barmen in 1863 as a dyestuffs factory, Bayer's first and best-known product was aspirin. In 1898 Bayer trademarked the name heroin for the drug diacetylmorphine and marketed it as a cough suppressant and non-addictive substitute for morphine until 1910. Bayer also introduced phenobarbital
prontosil, the first widely used antibiotic and the subject of the 1939 Nobel Prize in Medicine
the antibiotic Cipro (ciprofloxacin)
and Yaz (drospirenone) birth control pills.
In 1925 Bayer was one of six chemical companies that merged to form IG Farben, the world's largest chemical and pharmaceutical company. The Allied Control Council seized IG Farben after World War II, because of its role in the Nazi war effort and involvement in the Holocaust, which included using slave labour from concentration camps. It was split into its six constituent companies in 1951, then split again into three: BASF, Bayer and Hoechst.
Bayer played a key role in the Wirtschaftswunder in post-war West Germany, quickly regaining its position as one of the world's largest chemical and pharmaceutical corporations. In 2006 the company acquired Schering, in 2014 it acquired Merck & Co.'s consumer business, with brands such as Claritin, Coppertone and Dr. Scholl's, and in 2018 it acquired Monsanto, a leading producer of genetically engineered crops, for $63 billion. Bayer CropScience develops genetically modified crops and pesticides.

41 Cooper Square, designed by architect Thom Mayne of Morphosis, is a nine-story, 175,000-square-foot (16,300 m2) academic center that houses the Albert Nerken School of Engineering with additional spaces for the humanities, art, and architecture departments in the newest addition to Cooper Union's campus in Cooper Square, Manhattan, New York City
there is also an exhibition gallery and auditorium for public programs and retail space on the ground level. The building, originally known as the New Academic Building, stands on the site where the School of Art Abram Hewitt Building was located
the site of the building formerly used for engineering will be leased to a developer once the move has been completed. Construction of the building began in 2006 and was completed in September 2009. The project has been controversial in the East Village neighborhood where 41 Cooper Square is located.
Mayne designed the building from the inside out, starting with a central atrium, referred to as a vertical piazza. The atrium plays the role of the public square in the building where social interaction can occur. Its form was created by carving out program space and circulation paths and is contained and accentuated in a steel lattice envelope that reaches the full height of the building.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFK6NJ - Peter Cooper (February 12, 1791 ? April 4, 1883) was an American industrialist, inventor, philanthropist, and politician. He designed and built the first American steam locomotive, the Tom Thumb, founded the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, served as its first president, and stood for election as the Greenback Party's candidate in the 1876 presidential election.
Cooper began tinkering at a young age while working in various positions in New York City. He purchased a glue factory in 1821 and used that factory's profits to found the Canton Iron Works, where he earned even larger profits by assembling the Tom Thumb. Cooper's success as a businessman and inventor continued over the ensuing decades, and he became the first mill operator to successfully use anthracite coal to puddle iron. He also developed numerous patents for products such as gelatin and participated in the laying of the first transatlantic telegraph cable.
During the Gilded Age, Cooper became an ardent critic of the gold standard and the debt-based monetary system of bank currency, advocating instead for government-issued banknotes. Cooper was nominated for president at the 1876 Greenback National Convention, and the Greenback ticket of Cooper and Samuel Fenton Cary won just under one percent of the popular vote in the 1876 general election. His son Edward and his son-in-law Abram Hewitt, both served as Mayor of New York City.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXJFF - National Museums Scotland was formed by Act of Parliament in 1985 , amalgamating the former National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland and The Royal Scottish Museum. The National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland, was formed in 2006 with the merger of the new Museum of Scotland, with collections relating to Scottish antiquities, culture and history, and the adjacent Royal Museum (so renamed in 1995), with collections covering science and technology, natural history, and world cultures.
The two connected buildings stand beside each other on Chambers Street, by the intersection with the George IV Bridge, in central Edinburgh. The museum is part of National Museums Scotland. Admission is free.
The two buildings retain distinctive characters: the Museum of Scotland is housed in a modern building opened in 1998, while the former Royal Museum building was begun in 1861, and partially opened in 1866, with a Victorian Romanesque Revival facade and a grand central hall of cast iron construction that rises the full height of the building. This building reopened on 29 July 2011 after a ?47 million project to restore and extend the building, and redesign the exhibitions (by Ralph Appelbaum).
The National Museum incorporates the collections of the former National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland, and the Royal Museum. As well as the main national collections of Scottish archaeological finds and medieval objects, the museum contains artifacts from around the world, encompassing geology, archaeology, natural history, science, technology and art. The 16 new galleries reopened in 2011 include 8,000 objects, 80 per cent of which were not formerly on display.
One of the more notable exhibits is the stuffed body of Dolly the sheep, the first successful clone of a mammal from an adult cell. Other highlights include Ancient Egyptian exhibitions, one of Elton John's extravagant suits and a large kinetic sculpture named the Millennium Clock.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BGHB30 - The Jodrell Bank Observatory (originally the Jodrell Bank Experimental Station and from 1966 to 1999, the Nuffield Radio Astronomy Laboratories hosts a number of radio telescopes, and is part of the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics at the University of Manchester. The observatory was established in 1945 by Bernard Lovell, a radio astronomer at the University of Manchester to investigate cosmic rays after his work on radar during the Second World War. It has since played an important role in the research of meteors, quasars, pulsars, masers and gravitational lenses, and was heavily involved with the tracking of space probes at the start of the Space Age. The managing director of the observatory is Professor Simon Garrington.
The main telescope at the observatory is the Lovell Telescope, which is the third largest steerable radio telescope in the world. There are three other active telescopes at the observatory
the Mark II, and 42 ft (13 m) and 7 m diameter radio telescopes. Jodrell Bank Observatory is the base of the Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN), a National Facility run by the University of Manchester on behalf of the Science and Technology Facilities Council.
The Jodrell Bank Visitor Centre and an arboretum, are in the civil parish of Lower Withington and the Lovell Telescope and the observatory are in Goostrey civil parish, near Goostrey and Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, North West England. The observatory is reached from the A535. The Crewe to Manchester Line passes right by the site, and Goostrey station is a short distance away. On 7 July 2019, the observatory became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Warrington artists and musicians Rick Hagan and Crazy Dave. They would not look out of place in a science fiction space opera.
They could be on a distant planet, or maybe just popped out of Sigourney Weaver's air conditioning duct (or maybe the Spar on Thelwall New Road). I remember reading a few Edward E (Doc) Smith books in my wasted youth, from his Skylark and Lensman series. Rick or Dave could drop out of any of these, straight off the page.
In the Mos Eisley Cantina watering hole maybe you might find them in a booth, Rick with a mug of white tea (as he doesn't normally drink) and Dave with a two bottles (double round) of Colt 45s with Lando.

Apparently these were not originally a London thing.
First public police telephones of this type, although red in Britain were introduced in Glasgow in 1891. Gas lanterns were attached to the roof so to signal for instructions. The Metropolitan Police (Met) introduced police boxes throughout London between 1928 and 1937. These boxes were not made of wood as would first seem. The original MacKenzie Trench blueprints indicate that the material for the shell of the box is 'concrete' with only the door being made of teak hardwood.
A little heater was supplied as the boxes would have been notoriously cold. By 1953 there were 685 police boxes on the streets of London. In the late 1960's they were killed by the advent of the walkie-talkie. Some still survive and have been converted into High Street coffee bars. When I am up in Edinburgh I see quite a few, though quite a few are in various states of disrepair. Edinburgh's boxes are often ornate with faux neoclassical decoration.

Throughout much of the 20th century, amateur chemistry was an unexceptional hobby, with high-quality chemistry sets readily available, and laboratory suppliers freely selling to hobbyists. For example, Linus Pauling had no difficulty in procuring potassium cyanide at the age of eleven. However, due to increasing concerns about terrorism, drugs and safety, suppliers became increasingly reluctant to sell to amateurs, and chemistry sets were steadily toned down.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXJGE - National Museums Scotland was formed by Act of Parliament in 1985 , amalgamating the former National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland and The Royal Scottish Museum. The National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland, was formed in 2006 with the merger of the new Museum of Scotland, with collections relating to Scottish antiquities, culture and history, and the adjacent Royal Museum (so renamed in 1995), with collections covering science and technology, natural history, and world cultures.
The two connected buildings stand beside each other on Chambers Street, by the intersection with the George IV Bridge, in central Edinburgh. The museum is part of National Museums Scotland. Admission is free.
The two buildings retain distinctive characters: the Museum of Scotland is housed in a modern building opened in 1998, while the former Royal Museum building was begun in 1861, and partially opened in 1866, with a Victorian Romanesque Revival facade and a grand central hall of cast iron construction that rises the full height of the building. This building reopened on 29 July 2011 after a ?47 million project to restore and extend the building, and redesign the exhibitions (by Ralph Appelbaum).
The National Museum incorporates the collections of the former National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland, and the Royal Museum. As well as the main national collections of Scottish archaeological finds and medieval objects, the museum contains artifacts from around the world, encompassing geology, archaeology, natural history, science, technology and art. The 16 new galleries reopened in 2011 include 8,000 objects, 80 per cent of which were not formerly on display.
One of the more notable exhibits is the stuffed body of Dolly the sheep, the first successful clone of a mammal from an adult cell. Other highlights include Ancient Egyptian exhibitions, one of Elton John's extravagant suits and a large kinetic sculpture named the Millennium Clock.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DN6NHM - Spike Island is an island in the estuary of the River Mersey, in North West England, flanked by the Sankey Canal. It is a reclaimed toxic waste site, considered a birthplace of the British chemical industry, and forms a part of Widnes in the Halton borough of Cheshire.
Its maze of abandoned chemical factories, rail lines, canal and industrial dockage, and industrial pollution, which had declined into a rust belt toxic wilderness, was reclaimed as woodland, wetlands and green space between 1975 and 1982. A surviving warehouse is now the home of the Catalyst Museum, the only science museum in the UK solely devoted to chemistry.
Spike Island was the site of a famous outdoor concert by The Stone Roses in May 1990. A film about the concert was released in 2013, and is called Spike Island.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HDB6 - A police box is a British telephone kiosk or callbox located in a public place for the use of members of the police, or for members of the public to contact the police. Unlike an ordinary callbox, its telephone is located behind a hinged door so it can be used from the outside, and the interior of the box is, in effect, a miniature police station for use by police officers.
Police boxes predate the era of mobile telecommunications
now British police officers carry two-way radios and/or mobile phones rather than relying on fixed kiosks. Most boxes are now disused or have been withdrawn from service.
The typical police box contained a telephone linked directly to the local police station, allowing patrolling officers to keep in contact with the station, reporting anything unusual or requesting help if necessary. A light on top of the box would flash to alert an officer that he/she was requested to contact the station.[2]:2 Members of the public could also use the phone to contact a police station in an emergency.
British police boxes were usually blue, except in Glasgow, where they were red until the late 1960s.:13 In addition to a telephone, they contained equipment such as an incident book and a first aid kit.:14 Today the image of the blue police box is widely associated with the science fiction television programme Doctor Who, in which the protagonist's time machine, a TARDIS, is in the shape of a 1960s British police box. In the context of a TARDIS, the image of the blue police box is a trademark of the BBC.
