On Friday I was delighted to have the opportunity to visit the David Livingstone Birthplace Museum in Blantyre to see their newly refurbished grounds.

The centre is the only independent museum in Scotland dedicated to David Livingstone and examining his work within the difficult and complex realities of colonialism at the time.

It was lovely to see the new amenities and hear about the work at the museum – if you would like to know more about the museum, its history or how to visit, you can find more information on their website.
