What’s been happening behind the scenes at the museum?
Digitisation of military uniform accessories.
Earlier this year, the Museum Service was successful in acquiring funding from Museums Galleries Scotland to digitise part of the military uniform collections. Around 500 of the smaller objects in the museum collection, including the badges, hats, belts and boots, have been photographed and are now available for everyone to view online.
Why not visit the Online Collection and explore the interesting objects we have discovered through this project? Here’s just a flavour of the objects you’ll find there!
