THE MYSTERIES behind hit sci-fi show Doctor Who are set to be revealed at an Edinburgh exhibition later this year.
The Time Lord will land at the National Museum of Scotland in December, where the Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder Exhibition will let fans explore eight zones covering a series of scientific topics from the show.
The show has many Scottish links with Sylvester McCoy, David Tennant and Peter Capaldi all having stepped into the Tardis as well as Karen Gillan, who played Amy Pond – a companion to Matt Smith’s Doctor.
Earlier this year, Rwandan-Scottish actor Ncuti Gatwa was announced as the next actor to be taking on the role.
Head of exhibitions and design at the museum, Alison Cromarty, said staff were “tremendously excited to be bringing this exhibition to Scotland”.

She added: “From the wonder of the science fiction of the TV show, to our present-day understanding of the big scientific topics it touches on, there is something for everyone.”
The exhibition first opened in Liverpool’s world museum, where it will run until October 30, but from December 10 until May 1 next year it will call Edinburgh home.
As part of the exhibition, people will be able to take part in a range of immersive experiences and go on a journey through cosmic curiosities, a Tardis tech room, and discover the science behind time travel.
Some of the show’s stranger creations will also be part of the exhibition, with its monster vault allowing visitors to get up close with some of the weird and scary characters that have graced our screens.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
