In the museum, learn about the land, people and ways of working that have shaped Scotland's rural history, and discover Scotland's largest collection of tractors, combine harvesters and other farming machinery.
Just a short walk or tractor-trailer ride from the museum is the working farm, home to Ayrshire, Aberdeen Angus and Highland cattle, Tamworth pigs, sheep, hens and Clydesdale horses. Meet the animals, then visit the Georgian farmhouse where Lanarkshire's Reid family lived for ten generations. See rooms decorated as they would have been in the 1950s and explore the bothy, outbuildings and kitchen garden.
Don't forget to round off your visit with a stop at the museum's cafe, the perfect place for some good old-fashioned home baking. Or bring your own picnic to enjoy in the outdoor play park and picnic area.
A range of safety measures are in place in line with Scottish Government guidelines. This includes enhanced cleaning, sneeze screens, and hand sanitising stations. Please do not visit the museum if you or anyone in your household has any symptoms of Coronavirus.
