About this event

Bring your child to this curator-led talk at the Physicians' Gallery, held on the last Wednesday of each month at 12.30pm. This month's focus is a fascinating Jacobite medicine chest containing 147 different medicines, with a remarkable history linked to the Battle of Culloden and Bonnie Prince Charlie's personal physician. It's a wonderful opportunity for curious young minds to learn about Scottish history, medicine, and museum curation in an engaging, expert-led session. Perfect for older children and families interested in history and how museums preserve precious artefacts.
