Bespoke Archive Workshop S4 - S6

Visiting Us
Please note access to The Argylls Museum can be challenging for some. We are based at the top square of Stirling Castle which is situated on a steep incline with cobble stones throughout. The Colours Room, where workshops are held, is at the top of 3 flights of spiral stairs. The museum also has quite a few internal stairs so please make us aware of any physical access concerns before booking a workshop.
Can’t visit us? Our handling boxes mean we can bring the Museum to you too.
