Give it your best shot and let us know what you think this item is called and what it was used for. It is made of wood. (keep it clean please!)

We had a lovely visit from the Dunbeath School Nursery class today. They had fun finding the animals on the Museum Hunt, then spent some time colouring. What a fine job they did too!

Busy day at the museum today, people visiting from all around Britain including; Northampton, Nottinghamshire, Wales, Dorset as well as America plus many more! Lovely to see the museum busy, it brings it alive and the visitors thought it was one of the best museums they had visited!
Come along to see our displays, ranging from prehistory to the 20th century with Bronze age axes and sword, to Roman coins, through to the Rune stone from Portomin and 7th Century Ballachly stone, and into the 20th century with our Neil M Gunn displays and so much more! Something for everyone.
