The National Museum of Scotland is situated on Chambers Street, Edinburgh. It comprises two buildings, the 19th century Royal Scottish Museum building and the late 20th century Museum of Scotland building. The striking Museum of Scotland building was designed by Benson and Forsyth architects, and opened in 1998. Its exhibitions tell the story of Scotland's people, land and culture.

Augustine United Church is part of the United Reformed Church. The church on George IV Bridge was completed in 1861 and has recently undergone a major renovation which was completed in 2005.
