The country's fascinating ship building past is brought to spectacular life at the Scottish Maritime Museum in Irvine - one of two sites in Scotland (the other can be found in Dumbarton). Trace the country's maritime history with interactive displays, collections and art. Discover the world's oldest floating Clyde-built vessel, all housed in the Linthouse Building - itself a slice of maritime history and an 18th century former shipyard engine shop from the Govan area of Glasgow.
