Join us at the next stop on the Scottish Fisheries Museum Go Industrial Tour.

From July 2019 to July 2020, as part of our 50th anniversary celebrations, we will be visiting all Go Industrial museums.

We will bring along some of the most interesting items from our collection that tie in with each host museum. This means no two displays will be completely the same and some will be wildly different.

Discovery Point

5 – 6 October

From foghorns to lanterns and ganseys to sail canvas, come and see the vast range of interesting items the Scottish Fisheries Museum has to offer.
