Science Museums Worth visting

Hello. I'm interested in learning about things like string theory, time dialations, cosmic entities, chemical and physical properties of things, animal and insect physiology, and new forms of chemical, physical and atomic/molecular energy. If I were visiting Scotland, what science museums would I want to visit?

For the animal/biological side of things, I can highly reccomend the Zoology museum at Aberdeen University & the associated Natural History Centre/Cruickshank Botanic Garden. IIRC, the museum-rep body rate it second in the UK whilst the more general/anthropolgical Marischal Museum is well worth a look too.

Also, if you like things aeronautic, the NMS Museum of Flight at East Fortune is a gem, as indeed are most of the other NMS collections.
