Another location steeped in historicism, Blairs Museum prides itself on a genuinely phenomenal collection of religious artifacts, paintings, and textiles. Items on display range from opulent sculptures carved from precious metals to delicate garments, all hand-stitched up to five hundred years ago. The museum is perhaps best known for its towering painting that depicts Mary Queen of Scots on her execution day, providing a haunting image that is all the more intriguing for the artwork’s complex history. With full-price tickets for only £4, Blairs Museum is a wonderful place of local and national history.
