If you're studying war, the military or conflict, a visit to the museum can be a unique, exciting experience for your pupils. Located within Edinburgh Castle, the museum is available to visit free of charge for pre-booked UK school groups.

We have a range of events and CPD for teachers looking to visit our museums or use our collections in their classrooms.

Hop aboard our Farm Explorer trailer for a short ride to our historic farm. Meet the people who work there and look after the animals. Find out what farming was like in years gone by and why we keep Ayrshire cattle and Blackface sheep.
