A small, quiet museum with a huge park and lakes. Here you can have a good time enjoying nature. There is a playground for children.

A small but enjoyable and informative museum on the local area and history, perhaps a bit small for a special trip but if you are in the area it should be a great addition to a day out. The staff are excellent, friendly and there's interactive things to do for kids too.

Lovely little museum with great interactive displays. A little bit of everything here, local history going back to the Roman times. Good jump off point for a walk round the grounds. Helpful staff. Good information on the town and surrounds too. The walk round the grounds is not too difficult though if you had a buggy or wheelchair expect challenging sections where you need to go on grass or gravel path. Good kids playground on the site. Toilet available as long as the museum is open.

Vrijeme, koje je prolazilo, ali nije prošlo. Vrijeme je lebdjelo iza otoka poput oblaka; ponekad bi ga otpuhao vjetar, ponekad bi ga zaustavila bonaca, ponekad bi se zgusnulo, ponekad bi se razrijedilo – tko kaže da vrijeme teče ravnomjerno? Vrijeme se zalijeće i vrijeme stoji, vrijeme puže i vrijeme juri, vrijeme gmiže i vrijeme poskakuje – eto. Ali ostavimo vrijeme vremenu.“ Vrlo detaljan i informativan s posvećenim osobljem i postavljen u lijepom mjestu Kinneil ( saznajte više o Rimljanima, povijesti Kinneil kuće i imanju)u blizini parobrodske željeznice. Vikendica Jamesa Watta (parnog stroja) također se nalazi na zemljištu u blizini šarmantne kuće pravi škotski dragulj Posjetili Kinneil House koji je istovremeno bio nevjerojatan i tužan. Ukrašeni zidovi su prekrasni i u nevjerojatnom stanju za svoju dob, ali uništavanje kuće nije ništa drugo nego katastrofalno. Većinu vremena utrošeno je tamo šetnjom oko terena gledajući Forrest, staru crkvu, zid Hadrianskog zidina, rimsku kuću i veličanstvenu staru kuću.

Visited Kinneil House which was amazing and sad at the same time. The decorated walls are wonderful and in amazing condition for their age but the destruction of the house by the council is nothing short of disastrous.
