Scotland for modelers

Jul 08, 2003 7 Replies

Hi all!



I'll be taking a trip to Scotland in August (Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness), and I was wandering what would the good people here on rec.models.scale would recommend to a fellow modeler to see there. Any good model shops, museums, bases etc. to visit? Especially interested in aircraft, but also ships... Thanks in advance!

On my last visit, Wonderland Models in Edinburgh and Jameson's in Glasgow were worth a stop.

inverness has a model shop in the 'arcade' in the middle of the town. it has been there for over 30 years.

agree on wonderland models in edinburgh , lothian road.

Ahh well, I have seen it written that all of the British Isles has become one huge museum.

That's the only way to buy antiques rather than 'tat' i.e. let it grow old naturally then sell it to countries that have a short history ! ;-)

I'm putting in a bid for Ben and Glen Nevis, a great place to be in winter.

Thanks to all who responded, I'll definitively visit the shops in Edinburgh, and the Museum of Flight looks promising as well!
