The Cold War was a 40-year nuclear stand-off between the USA and the Soviet Union after the Second World War. Scotland’s unique landscape provided a useful base for Allied military preparations and research. The impact of the war still lingers in Scottish politics, culture and memory. Scots played an active role in the global conflict as soldiers within intelligence services and as part of voluntary civil defences. The exhibition will draw on Scotland’s rich history of Cold War-era protest and activism. Cold War Scotland is an output of Materialising the Cold War, a collaborative research project between National Museums Scotland and the University of Stirling. The project explores how the Cold War heritage is represented and how museums can adapt to tell this story in future. Materialising the Cold War is funded by a major grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council.

Edinburgh Castle is amazing! Sitting high on a hill, it gives you stunning views of the whole city. The old buildings, cool cannons, and royal treasures make it super interesting. It feels like stepping into a storybook. A must see if you&rsquo;re in Scotland!

It is the most romantic sunset place. I have been here, it was cold but beautiful! I will not go into details about the many celebrity check-in places.
But my only deepest experience was the lyrics,
&quot;The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you&quot;
I didn&#39;t think this song was romantic before, until I climbed to the top of Carlton Mountain⛰️It was really speechless and beautiful!!
I really like this light blue gentle dusk~~Thanks to the little afterglow near sunset that day, I saw the light blue and light orange sky line in the distance, which was really extremely romantic~~Continuously touched me✨💕🌹Recommend this extremely romantic place, must go?
【Scenery】
Medieval dusk🌆, the only one in the world❤️
