The building in the image is the historic Arbuthnot Museum and Library, also known as the Carnegie Building, located in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

A good old fashioned museum on top of a lovely library. The stuffed animals and plastic robots made an endearing combo and the nooks and crannies revealed info about previous local celebs. A must see in NE Scotland.

Great for the kids. Lovely staff and you find out so much about Peterhead. Plus it doesn't cost much at all. Just a donation.

We found this Museum by accident and very glad we did. There is a room that kids can play in with dressing up and there is also a colouring in area too.
