17 September 2016 National Museum of Scotland (Photo Set 1 of 2) I loved this museum. Loved it. The National Museum of Scotland had just undergone a huge renovation and redevelopment, and you could really tell.

It was called ‘The Lost Palace’, and essentially it was a audio/imaginary/real tour of Whitehall Palace - which no longer exists. The only remaining building from this …

12 August 2016 (3 of 3 Brighton-related photo sets) (text repeated) I’ve never quite been anywhere like Brighton. The city had beautiful architecture but was definitely not squeaky clean.
