IET Scotland North Events

A visit to see the behind-the-scenes technology collections centre of the National Museums of Scotland, led by the Principal Curator of Technology. We will have the chance to view some of the hundreds of thousands of technology objects from the microscopic to the enormous that are not normally on display. We will be given an insight into the research work that the objects support and the conservation work as well as a chance to visit the object digitisation laboratory.

This is the story of SL Shamrock - where she came from and where she is now, and the issues of restoring, maintaining and operating her. In particular, the talk will follow the various propulsion systems she has had over the years.
