The Glasgow Science Centre and BodyWorks Exhibition
Written by Administrator
We had been meaning to visit the Glasgow Science Centre for quite a few weeks since hearing about the BodyWorks Exhibition that is currently showing there. In my youth I was a keen fan of the “How My Body Works” books and cartoons by Albert Barillé. I loved how Human Biology was explained in a way that I could understand it and it still inspires my interest today. For this reason I jumped at the idea of an interactive exhibition which has children and families at the centre of its teaching.
Our Visit to the Almond Valley Heritage Centre, Livingston
Written by Administrator
We stumbled upon the Almond Valley Heritage Centre completely by accident. We were visiting the Livingston area and were looking for something to do for children and came across their website. As folk from the West Coast of Scotland, much of the East Coast is still a mystery but we love how much we learn on each trip that way.
Our Visit to Largs - The East Wing at Noddsdale House

Scottish Country House Experience in Miniature - Noddsdale House
Largs is a seaside town and no seaside visit is complete without an ice cream or a portion of fish and chips. Nardinis does both!
We had a fantastic day out in Largs which included a trip to the Kelburn Country Estate, a view from the Haylie Brae, A stroll down Largs Promenade and dinner and ice cream at Nardinis Cafe.
Largs is situated right across from the Island of Cumbrae. Standing on the shore looking out you look at Cumbrae, Bute and Arran.
