Contact Us The "Scottish Maritime Museum" operates two unique sites, both having a strong connection to Scotland´s national maritime heritage.
They contain the exhibitions and collections that tell the story of Scotland’s enormous influence on the maritime history of the world from the eighteenth century to the modern day. The two sites are complemented by the collection of vessels that represent 150 years of the working vessels of Scotland.
The one in Irvine is the administrative centre and also the larger site. The Linthouse Engine Shop, originally built in 1872, holds a substantial part of the museum’s collections, including shipbuilding machinery and machine tools, small boats, canoes, lifeboats and so on. A visit also includes a tour to the shipyard workers' tenement flat, restored to its pre-1920s appearance and you can board the MV kyles the odest floating clydebuilt vessel in the world.
The second site, which is in Dumbarton, allows you to step back into the world of the Victorian ship designer by visiting the Denny Ship Model Experiment Tank. Built in 1882, it retains many original features including the 300 foot long test tank.
