Navigational Handling Box

We have a handling box available to borrow for schools and community groups. It includes objects and a range of activities including an engaging game about David Livingstone’s Trans-African expedition in the 1840s.

The activities are all tied into Curriculum for Excellence Experiences and Outcomes and are suited to activities for Guides and Scouts. There is a small charge to borrow the box for two weeks of £20, to help us with maintenance and admin.

Note: Please note that David Livingstone Birthplace (and the David Livingstone Trust) is no longer part of National Trust Scotland (NTS). NTS members will therefore no longer receive discounted/free entry to the Birthplace Museum.
