A River Journey: Myths and Monsters
Join High Life Highland staff from museums, archives, libraries and the ranger service on a journey of adventure, mystery and creativity for children from 7 to 12 years old. Meander your way along the River Ness via the Castle, Museum and Ness Islands to the Archive Centre. Hear remarkable myths, look for traces of mythical creatures, create your own Pictish art and delve into dusty documents on this amazing River Journey. Please drop children off at the Town House car park (just around the corner from the Town House). A member of staff will meet them there and take them over to the Museum and Art Gallery. Children can be picked up from the Highland Archive Centre at the end of the event.
