"Wonderful exhibition, the best I’ve seen in a
while. Thanks."
"Outstanding! Well worth the wait."
"A tale worth telling of a great Scottish
Naval hero. Well told and displayed."
"Lovely exhibition – very interesting. As a
fan of the Patrick O’Brian novels, it’s interesting to explore the
real life of a naval commander."
"Very well put together exhibition that shows
Cochrane’s rich and varied life!"
"A wonderful and well balanced exhibition.
Well done to all those involved."
"Very well curated – captures both the man and
the time in which he lived. Thank you."
"A fine exhibition – hopefully bringing the
achievements of this great Scotsman to the attention, appreciation
and admiration of his ‘own people’ hero. Too long neglected."
"An effective exhibition with a splendid
display of attractive items – yet another Scot who prominently
featured during the Napoleonic Wars…and in wars of independence. A
taster for more detailed reading."
"A very well presented exhibition and a
thoroughly deserved testimony to a truly amazing person."
"Excellent display. Must confess that I did
not know much about him. That has been rectified. Thank you."
"Wonderful, brings Lord Cochrane to life."
"Recognition at last! Excellent and
informative."
"Beautifully set out – clear – exciting."

commended in bringing all of this together."
"Such well preserved and presented history.
Bravo!"
"Fabulous exhibition – shall read more about
Cochrane and his exploits."
"Excellent exhibition – did not know much
about him before or that he was brought up in Culross just a few
miles from where I have lived for 60 years."
"A most interesting exhibition with a fine
blend of objects, portraits, paintings and documents."
"What an amazing exhibition. It makes me proud
to be Scottish. I had never heard of Lord Cochrane before. Truly
inspiring and brilliant."
"Rich in both information and artefacts, the
exhibition is correctly proportioned. True that Admiral Cochrane is
revered in South America."
"Fantastic! Excellent blend of naval and
social history – deserves wide acclaim as a man and leader."
"Fascinating to learn about such an
influential figure about whom I knew nothing. Well presented
exhibition design too."
"What a treat! I only wish my friend a great
fan of Cornwell and O’Brian’s books could have seen it. A
remarkable life…"
"Really very interesting. It gives a good
flavour of naval life as well as Cochrane’s personal story."
"Long overdue! A very good flavour of the
spirit and courage of an extraordinary man. Virtually unknown in
Scotland, to Scotland’s great shame. Hopefully this exhibition will
inspire Scots (and other British) to learn more about him, and
appreciate him for his exploits, achievements – and faults
too!"
"Superb exhibition – a great introduction to a
part of our history which is not generally known!"
"Excellent exhibition. As a Chilean it is an
honour to see Cochrane’s life achievements and influence. He was
one of our greatest heroes."
"Very, very interesting. I shall read my CS
Forresters with re-opened eyes!"
"Excellent exhibition bringing together so
many items connected to Lord Cochrane, one of Scotland’s finest
heroes."
"Fascinating exhibition. Loved the personal
objects – jewellery, clothes etc. Very well done. The film sets it
off very well."
