Call for expansion of Museum Scheme

I think that the proposals by the Scottish Government to allow primary school children subsidised visits to some museums is a good idea. The scheme would allow pupils to visit Culloden, Bannockburn and the new Robert Burns Birthplace Museum, as well as Historic Scotland sites and the excellent New Lanark World Heritage site. I just wonder if this covers all of the rich variety of Scotland's history. For a pupil in Dundee to understand the history of our city a visit to wonderful Verdant Works or Discovery may be more appropriate. I have raised this matter with the City Council's Education Department and I will raise it with the Scottish Government.
