It was a very last minute decision to go and we are very glad that we did. It was an incredible performance from the actors, they really commit to character and convey the story very well (even for myself who is not very well versed in Shakespeare stories or language). There is a prompter displaying the words spoken, which was very helpful, especially as the actors did really well to convey the Scottish accent so some words were hard to pick up.

We went for the cheapest seats which was the back row of the highest floor. Be warned that the seats are actually higher off the floor than the two rows in front, like a bar stool. Not great for plus size, short people, or if you afraid of heights (or all 3!). Thankfully it wasn't a sold out show so we were able to move down 3 rows and it was much more comfortable.

A really fascinating place to visit, more of a focus around the Enigma machine of course. We found that unlike other war museums there is less here about uniforms, weapons, medals etc which is a nice difference.

We visited on one of the hottest days in summer, so some rooms/buildings were incredibly hot. It goes to show the kinds of conditions they would have been working in at a time of war too, humbling.

I also particularly liked the art exhibition focusing on data. There were a few that you could contribute to.

Lots of green spaces, so great for a picnic if you bring your own lunch or snacks.
