17. Glasgow Necropolis
It may sound somewhat ghoulish, but a trip to the Glasgow 'city of the dead' makes for an interesting and unique couple of hours. Offering amazing views over the city and Glasgow Cathedral, look out for monuments designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Alexander 'Greek' Thomson. It's arguably the most picturesque graveyard in Scotland - and was famously used in Hollywood superhero blockbuster 'The Batman'.
Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument draw the crowds to Stirling, but the city's Old Town Jail offers more macabre entertainment. An hour's drive from Kirkcaldy, the attraction gives you the chance to experience life as an inmate in the 19th century Tolbooth Gaol, reputed to be the worst jail in Britain.
Glasgow's Britannia Panopticon, on the city's Trongate, is the world's oldest surviving music hall and hosted Stan Laurel's (by all accounts disasterous) stage debut in 1906. Check their website for a full list of their regular shows, tours and screenings.
Located in the Dumfries and Galloway village of Eastriggs, and perhaps winning the award for the most oddly-named Scottish museum, the the Devil's Porridge refers to the explosive cordite made during World War One. Over 1,000 tons a week was produced at the site of the museum, which talls the story of the 'munitions girls' and the others who worked at the explosives factory.
