Fairly good quality of collections. I would say this is the third best regimental museum so far, Edinburgh and Perth.

Seeped in true history from a lot of years of armed conflicts with show pieces of conflicts from weapons to uniforms to battle dress to bonnets each and all attached to the stories of that conflict. Definitely worth a visit,so if in Glasgow Toon pay it a wee visit...why not????

Amazing amazing experience. The museum is free entry and staff at the reception is very friendly. There is loads and loads of information to read therefore one day is not enough. The museum has two floors and in the ground floor you’ll explore the establishment of Fusilier forces and the in the first floor one will find the contribution of them during the 1st and 2nd world wars. Wealth of an experience. Will definitely be back!
