Two Glasgow visitor attractions are set to receive a mighty boost from a £226,000 funding pot.

Museums Galleries Scotland (MGS) has announced funding for five museums and galleries across the country.

The Museum Development Fund - backed by the Scottish Government - is aimed at helping attractions continue to welcome visitors and engage with Scottish history.

The Tall Ship Glenlee in Partick has been awarded £35,000 to create an immersive sensory journey of the ship’s past through sounds and aromas, reimagining the onboard experience.

Fiona Greer, development director at The Tall Ship Glenlee, said: “We are thrilled to receive this support from MGS and look forward to bringing the ship to life in new immersive ways.

“This project will allow us to enhance the onboard experience for our visitors and tell new stories of the crew who lived and worked on the ship through improved interpretation.

“We look forward to sharing these improvements with our visitors in 2023, our celebratory year marking 30 years since the ship returned to Glasgow."

The Scottish Football Museum at Hampden Park was granted a whopping £50,000 to put towards its project Football for All! Celebrating 600 years of football in Scotland.

The museum’s top priority has been making football accessible for all and the project celebrates significant anniversaries for football in Scotland.

Highlights include the story of the first black international footballer, Andrew Watson, who won the Scottish Cup three times, and the story of Marion Wotherspoon who embroidered the iconic 1872 Scotland shirt badge.

Robert Craig, chair of the Scottish Football Museum, said: "As we begin to celebrate a series of historic milestones in the history of Scottish football we are delighted to receive this vital support from Museums Galleries Scotland.”

Culture minister Neil Gray said: “The diversity of our cultural heritage is reflected in the five museums that are receiving a share of the £226,000 in funding from the Scottish Government supported Museum Development Fund.

“Engaging the public with our rich and vibrant history is at the heart of our museum services across the country.”
