    No I do not currently volunteer
    Took my two youngest last week (6 and almost 8)

    Admittedly they have been before & it was just after the Scottish Schools had gone back

    We were made most welcome, some of the staff even remembered us from last year - no they were not the ones that ran away & hid!

    After cranking everything that could be cranked they borrowed the radio controlled boat and sailed it round the indoor pool.

    Then we went round the MV Kyle moored in the nearby harbour followed by an excellent lunch - they both demolished an 'all day' breakfast.

    More cranking and playing on the yacht simulator followed before Domestic Facilities arrived to take us home.

    If you haven't been before its well worth a visit - and of course many of the ships featured are railway ships
