Edinburgh has been the capital of Scotland since the 15th century. With a population of around 525,000, it is the second largest city in Scotland after Glasgow. The city is a cultural centre, and is the home of institutions including the National Museum of Scotland, the National Library of Scotland and the Scottish National Gallery. Edinburgh's Old Town and New Town together are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The National Museum of Scotland was formed in 2006 with the merger of the new Museum of Scotland, with collections relating to Scottish antiquities, culture and history, and the adjacent Royal Scottish Museum. Both parts of the museum are located right next to each other on Chambers Street. The Royal Museum is a museum of natural sciences, technology and art. It is housed in a building dating from 1888. The Museum of Scotland deals with Scottish history and culture. It is located in a new building completed in 1998 right next to the 1888 building. Bridgeness Slab The Bridgeness Slab is a Roman distance slab marking a portion of the Antonine Wall built by the Second Legion. The sandstone tablet was found at Bridgeness in Bo'ness, Scotland in 1868. The slab was erected 142 CE to mark the completion of a section of the Antonine Wall. The inscription in the centre panel reads "Imp CaesTito Aelio / Hadri Antonino Aug Pio p p legII Aug / per m p ĪĪĪĪ DCLII / FEC" (= "Imp(eratori) Caes(ari) Tito Aelio Hadri(ano) Antonino/ Aug(usto) Pio p(atri) p(atriae) leg(io) II Aug(usta) per m(ilia) p(assuum) IIII(milia)DCLII fec(it)". This translates as "For the Emperor Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius, Father of his Country, the Second Augustan Legion completed [the Wall] over a distance of 4652 paces". On the left is a victorious, Roman cavalryman with four naked Britons. On the right panel is a depiction of the "suovetaurilia", a ceremony undertaken before important campaigns or in this case before the wall was built. The arch top of a temple is depicted. Four soldiers are shown, one carrying the flag. A man in a toga is depicted pouring a libation on an altar as a preliminary to sacrificing a bull, a pig and a sheep. During this a flute is played.

By the beginning of the 16th century, Glasgow had become an important religious and academic centre. In the 6th century Saint Mungo is said to have brought the body St Fergus, for burial. Saint Ninian is reputed to have dedicated the burial ground. Mungo built a monastic cell in the burial ground, and was buried in his church there in 614. His shrine in the Lower Church of Glasgow Cathedral was an important place of pilgrimage in the medieval period. The first stone cathedral was built, initiated by the decision of David I to establish a bishopric at Glasgow, the new cathedral was consecrated in 1136. The cathedral rose slowly over a period of some 150 years. Destroyed or severely damaged by fire, the first cathedral was succeeded by the present Gothic cathedral, which was consecrated in 1197. It was constructed between the 13th and 15th centuries. The church was the seat of the bishops and later the archbishops of Glasgow. Since 1690, the cathedral has no longer been the seat of a bishop. Since then, the designation as a cathedral has been a historical title of honour and indicates the original function as a Roman Catholic diocesan church of the Archbishopric of Glasgow.
