The dumfries museums!

During he summer holidays we went to the Dumfries Museum! The first museum we went to was the Old Bridge House Museum which had an old fashioned dentists in it! I did a quiz about the Old Bridge House Museum and got 100%! Apparently it was an inn at one point and Robert burns visited it once his work was done for the day! Then we went to Dumfries Museum itself! There was all sorts of stuff from ancient pictish carvings to stuffed animals (which included a poor golden eagle and otters.) Then we went up to the camera obscura and I was one of the people who got given a spatula with a piece of white cardboard which meant that I could play around with the picture coming onto the viewing table. After a wee while we went back downstairs and we found a room full of old weapons where we (rather surprisingly) found halberds! I had a great day so here are some pictures!
