Museums And Visitor Centres

Scotland provides some of the best visitor experiences in terms of museums, visitor interpretation centres and other facilities highlighting Scotland’s history. The list below is just a sample of this type of activity close to Linksview Guest House in Carnoustie.

Many of these places will be of interest to those researching their family history in Scotland. We have some special web pages dedicated to those interested in their Scottish Ancestry giving details of the many resources that are available.

If you are interested in our Maritime heritage then visit the Royal Research Ship Discovery in Dundee or the Arbroath Signal Tower Museum. Golfers can take in the British Golf Museum in St Andrews, just 30 minutes from Linksview. Stargazers may be interested in the Mills Observatory in Dundee. A day out to Edinburgh by train or car gives you a huge range of things to do and see.
