Lovely little museum with wonderful people who take care of everything. I had a lovely chat with Gail and she gave me a lot of information about the stunning history of Devonport. Also I got a lot of inspirations where to go next and find the most beautiful spots. Thank you Gail. It was a pleasure to meet you.

“A great wee museum. We walked up from the waterfront. The museum is set in lovely grounds. The museum is a relocated church. It tells the story of Devonport.”
