Bit pricey for what it offers. There are 4 heavily renovated exhibition rooms with some information ondisplay. Interesting but not worth £7 (£8 with donation). Doesn't give you any feel of being old gaol/jail. There's no comparison to Jedburgh Gaol which is free and definitely worth a visit.

Enjoyable visit to this museum with plenty of local history. Is very accessible with the central lift although be aware it I'd situated on a hill.

Worth popping in if you're in the area, but not worth going out of your way. Displays are largely aimed at younger audiences (~8-12 year olds) - adults will be occupied for about 30-60 minutes. The glass lift is a cool way to get around, and dropping down into the dungeon is an experience (although it's pretty bare!). Staff were very friendly and the gift shop is quite good.

Lovely little museum, well worth a little look if you are in the area. The parking is a short walk away at the leisure centre, park in the White line bays if you are not a local with a disc. The parking is free. Try and go down in the lift to the dungeon and listen to the information. Unless someone sets the lift off and spoils it for you, like we did to some poor visitors. Little bit of a gift shop. Good information in the museum and some dress up for the kids or the kids in the adults.

We love visiting old prisons/museum throughout the country and this one looked interesting from the outside.We took the lift down to the dungeon area but we're not allowed out, we had to listen to an audio description about it. There are two more floors you can get to by lift or stairs, only two rooms on each floor with mainly things to read and dressing up costumes for kids. There are no cells to look in so it didn't give the feel of a prison, it's more of a modern display rooms with a few chains and handcuffs and a stock.Good news is dogs are allowed in.
