American living in Edinburgh spots 'unexpected celebrity' at National Museum of Scotland

An American living in Edinburgh has said he spotted an 'unlikely' celebrity on a visit to the National Museum of Scotland.

Ed, known by Ed-in-burgh, on TikTok has been documenting his new life in Scotland after moving from the States months ago.

He has spoken out about how he has to adjust to the weather, our big house spiders, and it now seems like he is ticking off some tourist sites.

In his latest video on the app, Ed posted a video of the Millennium Clock that stands at just over ten meters high. The National Museum of Scotland states that it signifies the passing of time but is also a summary of the best and worst of the twentieth century.

It is made up of four sections and has intricate details, carvings, and wheels and chains. At the crypt, there is an 'ancient spirit' and a mischievous Eygpitian monkey.

However, in amongst all the detail and carvings, Ed said he saw an 'unexpected' cameo.

Zooming on on the ancient spirit, he said "That is 100 per cent Snoop Dog", suggesting a likeness between the carving and the rapper.

Above that in the nave, there are distorted figures of Lenin, Hitler and Stalin acting as a reminder of the worst aspects of the twentieth century as well as animated characters such as a Charlie Chaplin-like figure.

One follower commented: "LOVE the millennium clock."

Another said: "Motion of this clock is scary as hell."
