Get hooked on heritage at the Museum through our learning programme - it is more than just fish! Bring your class topic to life by getting hands-on with our collection through fun interactive workshops led by our learning staff.

The Scottish fishing industry and its associated crafts, people, environment, culture and towns is not only an important part of Scotland’s history but also its present and future. Join us at the Museum for our cross-curricular workshops linked to the Curriculum for Excellence. These can be delivered at the Museum or in your classroom. On a visit to the Museum, pupils of all ages will:

~Investigate the fascinating history of fishing in Scotland

~Discover stories of Scotland’s fisherfolk

~Get up close to our historic boats

~Handle historic objects

~See STEM in action.

Explore our workshops and learning resources below. To find out more about other Museums with fishing collections see our Community Links page.

All school visits must be booked in advance. To book your visit please either call us on 01333 310628 or contact the museum
