at the Scottish Fisheries Museum
“Be careful as you climb the stairs, I swear I saw a mouse sat there…”
As the days get shorter and the shadows longer, the museum buildings come to life in a different way…
Listen carefully and you may hear the footsteps of fishermen long gone, the creepy creakings of soot-blackened rafters and the hurried scurries of shy little creatures as they disappear into dark corners, eager to escape the beady eyes of Kipper the Cat!
FREE with museum admission
