    Brilliant place to spend a couple of hours on a wet Sunday afternoon. Lots to look at and lots to learn about the history of the Scottish fire services. Loads of historical items to see including Wallace the fire Dog.

    I loved everything about it. The exhibits were fantastic with lots of information, the film presentation was great and the service vehicles were beautifully restored. All the helpers were welcoming, friendly and happy to answer everyone's questions. It was a lovely experience and I'll definitely go again and recommend it to my family and friends.
