Museum On The Mound
About This AttractionSuggest an Edit
The Museum on the Mound is a brilliant place to take the kids and teach them a little about the history of money told through themes of art, design, technology, crime and security. Explore the story of Scotland's oldest bank and discover what different shapes and forms money has come in during the past 4000 years! It caters for children, offering them the chance to try and crack a safe, they can do some coin rubbing and even build a model of the bank! There is an activity trial called The Money Trial!
