Great museum, probably the biggest fishing industry museum Ive been to in Scotland - it takes time to walk around and see everything. Highly recommended!

Very interesting museum. Like a rabbit warren inside. You could easily spend upwards of a couple of hours exploring. Cafe was good with home baking and was reasonably priced. You can visit the Cafe without having to buy a museum ticket.
