Museum on the Mound

Museum on the Mound is a fascinating museum in the heart of Edinburgh dedicated to the history of money and economics. It is housed in the historic early 19th century Bank of Scotland building, which is an architectural gem in its own right.

The museum offers unique exhibits, including the first Scottish banknote from 1716 and one million pounds in cash! Interactive exhibits allow you to build a model of the bank building from blocks or open the safe to see the million pounds.

This is the perfect place for history and economics enthusiasts, as well as families with children to learn about 4,000 years of the evolution of money in an accessible and engaging way.
