We are committed to using the educational potential of The Black Watch Museum to create and provide inspiring learning experiences for all.
School Workshops
Through our learning programme we provide a range of engaging and interactive workshops for primary and secondary school aged children that are linked to the Curriculum for Excellence. We offer workshops which focus on the First and Second World Wars. During these educator sessions, pupils will have the opportunity to explore the Museum, dress in period uniforms, handle weapons used by the Regiment, meet a WW1 soldier, learn from primary source material and much more. Sessions are available as half-day workshops and can be delivered either in the morning or afternoon, Monday to Friday. The content and duration of workshops can be tailored to meet the learning needs of your class.
For more details on the available workshops and related activities please see the documents in the Information for Teachers section below.
Self Guided Visits
We welcome self-guided visits during Museum opening hours. To avoid clashes with other groups please book in advance. We can provide themed trails and worksheets for your class to use during their visit.
School Bursary
The generosity of the Friends of The Black Watch Castle and Museum has enabled us to establish a School Bursary. This bursary is available to assist with costs involved with your visit to The Black Watch Museum. To make an application please download and complete the School Bursary Application Form and email it to the address below.
Outreach Service
If it is not possible for you to bring your class to the Museum, a member of our Learning Team can visit your school. Our First and Second World War workshops can be adapted for delivery in your classroom.
