WHAT SUGGESTIONS DO YOU HAVE?

"A play area for infants 0-3yrs, had to leave/skip rooms as baby was restless."

We do have a family area in one of our galleries, which is suitable for supervised play with toddlers and older.

"You could prepare some more audio-visual accounts of various actions fought by The Black Watch."

We have audio-visual displays in all the rooms we feasibly can - since photography and film became commonplace. In the redeveloped Museum we plan to have some sort of multi-media presentation in each chronological period.

"A tea-room and bigger shop."

We have provisions for both in our redeveloped Museum - please see the Appeal section of the website for more details.

"In room 7 the banner displayed is from Cavalry not Pauzer Grenadier."

Thanks for this feedback. We will update our labels accordingly.
