Dynamic Earth

Our Dynamic Earth is an environmental science and geology attraction located in Edinburgh city centre near the Scottish Parliament building.

The attraction consists of a sequence of galleries featuring interactive displays with sounds, smells and movement explaining how the earth was created and how it has evolved since.
