When required: This is an on-going volunteer role at National Museums Scotland. It is flexible with hours and days as there is a rota system in place, but ideally if you can offer half a day per week volunteering it would be welcomed.

“I enjoy watching the children’s reaction to the farmhouse. Some ask if they can live in the farmhouse they love it so much. I also like it when they ask about the horse shoe on the table in the kitchen, or if they guess it is a horse shoe but want to know why it’s there.- Ruth, Farmhouse Volunteer Guide
