Why does the museum charge for educational visits?
The Heugh Gun Battery museum is a charity and is therefore dependant upon other forms of income to ensure it is able to operate. All money generated goes directly back into the museum to help restore artefacts or for general maintenance.
How much does each session cost?
The cost of each session varies and can be seen on the education programme brochure.
How far in advance do I need to book?
