The National Museum of Scotland presents the nation's history and global collections across two architecturally distinct buildings. The modern Museum of Scotland building (opened in 1998) is dedicated to Scottish history, from geological origins to the 20th century. It connects to the original Royal Museum, a Victorian masterpiece with a stunning glass-roofed Grand Gallery housing an eclectic collection of artefacts from world cultures, rare gems of natural history, and numerous science exhibits. Together, they showcase everything from Dolly the Sheep and Ancient Egyptian mummies to the Scottish Maiden — a predecessor to the French guillotine.

Kings Island is the kind of place where you show up thinking you’ll spend a few hours and somehow end up staying all day. The coasters are the real stars—The Beast is a classic, Orion is pure speed, and Mystic Timbers keeps you guessing. But even if you’re not into big drops, there’s plenty to do, from kid-friendly rides to water slides at Soak City. Plus, seasonal events like Halloween Haunt and WinterFest keep things interesting year-round.

The courthouse takes one on a journey through the history of St. Louis, Missouri and the United States. A number of cases tried here eventually led to events that changed the course of American and world history, most notably the Dred Scott case, which ruled that slaves and their descendants were not protected by the US Constitution -- this later fuelled abolishing slavery altogether.
