I feel that the previous reviews of this place dont really do it justice…read more Yes it is out of the way .... but that was kind of the point when it was designed! It was £12 entry fee for an adult but this goes straight back into the maintanence of the place so I dont think that is too expensive. Built when scotland and the UK was at threat from a nuclear attack during the cold war. It has been immaculately preserved. Alot of the original features remain and what restoration work has taken place has tried to keep in with the general theme. We spent a good wee while wandering around looking at the displays and watching the wee videos that were played to the public as part of the plan and prepare series. Its a fascinating part of history and well worth a visit if your like me and a bit of a war buff.

The second time we visited Scotland's Secret Bunker, this time with my parents in tow. It remains…read morean interesting and surprising place and a reminder of what we were worried about during the Cold War (and maybe should be again). You arrive via a country road to a country track at the end of which is what looks like a farmhouse and now is the entrance/giftshop. From there you descend via a staircase to come to a tunnel leading to the bunker which is full of historical equipment and information both new and from the time. A very worthwhile history lesson.

Took a long planned trip up to visit the new museum with my young family (5y & 7y). Really wanted…read moreto see inside this amazing looking building for myself but half expected it wouldn't really be for the kids. Was completely wrong as there were more really to keep them occupied than anything else. It turned out to be a great trip and they loved it. Loads of creative rooms/areas to build and construct stuff and lots of great visual stimulus. Spent about 3 hrs there but could've done more and ran out of time to explore the Discovery ship right next door. Will definitely go back up again and look out for some interesting exhibitions they put on. Of course there's adult stuff too which was very interesting (paid and free) so something for everyone. A must visit !!!

The highlight of the whole visit was the silent disco included in the extortionate Night Fever club culture exhibition and the equally extortionate gift shop. Despite this I really enjoyed the exhibition learning about raves, techno music and studio 54 and all the interesting audio and visual exhibits was fantastic but apart from that, there really isn't anything else to comment on. I expected more of a WOW factor and I didn't get that unfortunately.

Excellent little museum that goes on and on. Sprawled throughout several charming old buildings and…read morearound a courtyard. Take the map guide they hand out at the front because unless you've found the huge barn with the magnificent old Zulu class fishing boat, The Research, you've missed a significant part of the collection. My two kids, ages 5 and 12, were absolutely enchanted for well over an hour with the various displays and things they could try out. From sleeping in a real bunk bed to taking the helm of a real ship. Arts and crafts, how fishing nets were made, how fisher folk lived, why the distinctive patterns on their hand-made jerseys mattered. On and on. A lot of history is covered and you will definitely learn something. There are even some spectacular paintings like Anchored by the late John Bellany. The café looked pretty nice too though we did not get to try it this time. This is THE perfect place to while away an afternoon if the weather should turn during your visit to beautiful Anstruther. Enjoy.

From outside it doesn't look that big, but inside you will be amazed at the extensive dipsplays and full-size fishing vessels contained therein. A futher suprise is an ancient well, discovered only during building museum extension work. This museum is truly a labour of love, as it is a private interest.

Launched in 1901, she was the last traditional wooden three-masted ship to be built in the UK. It was the first vessel to be constructed specifically for scientific research. There is sooo much history regarding this boat. If you plan on going to Dundee, I highly recommend this as a spot to visit! While I was in Dundee, Scotland, this was one of the museums I wanted to visit. While visiting, a wedding was going onboard the ship. How cool is that! I did not get to take a tour of the ship due to the wedding, but that's totally ok! Just know if you're planning a wedding in the future, in Scotland, this ship is open for rental! It's located on the scenic River of Tay, on the waterfront, located next to the V&A. (Victoria&Albert Museum, Dundee) I visited Scotland in August & September! The weather is perfect here. Texas was melting and I was perfect at 62 degrees! If planning a trip to Scotland, August/September are the perfect months for a holiday! September 2023
