We’re thrilled to be taking part in Maths Week Scotland 2024!

Have a go at our “Kipper the Cat’s Maths Trail” as you tour the museum galleries. Join Kipper as he embarks on his first fishing trip, solving puzzles along the way and explore the different ways in which fishermen use maths both in the past and today. Suitable for ages 8-12.

Available 23 - 29 September

Calling all Teachers! We also have a schools self-led version of the trail so why not visit the museum with your class and find out how maths was important to the lives and livelyhoods of fishermen. Contact us to arrange your visit.

This event is part of Maths Week Scotland. Find more ideas for family activities on the Maths Week website or follow the hashtag to inspire maths-themed curiosity!

Drop in after nursery or school for relaxed crafts and stories for kids

Fortnightly from 16th September

3.15pm - 4.30pm

Join Jen or Julia and Kipper the Cat and share a book or two in an atmospheric neuk of the museum with some not-too-tricky activities to ease us into the week as the days get shorter and chillier.

No booking required but let us know if you are planning to come along if you can - it helps us plan!

A suggested donation of £1 towards cost of materials etc. always appreciated.

All ages of child welcome but those aged 9 and under must be accompanied by an adult
