The Liverpool Scottish Regimental Museum Trustees regret to announce the recent deaths of our Honorary Treasurer, Major Ken Ravenscroft, on 1 June 2009 and of Mr Freddie Bates, 10 June 2009. Our deepest sympathy is extended to their families.

Donations may be made, in memory of Ken, to the British Lung Foundation or Cancer Research through the Co-operative Funeral Service, 6 The Row, Market Street, Hoylake, Wirral CH47 3BB

Over the Christmas period, we will not be available at New Zealand House from Wednesday 17 December 2008. In the New Year we will be available from Wednesday 7 January 2009.

The premises at Botanic Road are now closed. Our normal enquiry service has resumed.. Queries are now being dealt with in turn following an unprecedented rush in the period of the 90th Anniversary of the end of the First World War. The Archive Office is established at New Zealand House (First Floor) in Liverpool but please continue to use the postal address given on the contact page. Contact details remain the same. Please do NOT telephone the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment office at New Zealand House for Liverpool Scottish enquiries

The museum's extensive photographic and documentary collection will be available for consultation. However, it is probable that an appointment will be necessary and we will be normally available at New Zealand House on Wednesdays from 11 am until 3 pm. Please phone the Honorary Curator or the Honorary Secretary for an appointment. There are, as yet, no plans for the display of the museum's artifacts: these are now in secure storage.

The Regimental Museum of the Liverpool Scottish

The Regimental Museum is the responsibility of the Regimental Museum Trust, established in 1979 to protect the collection of artifacts which have been acquired since the foundation of the 8th (Scottish) Volunteer Battalion, The King's (Liverpool Regiment) in 1900. This and its successor units have been known generally as "The Liverpool Scottish".

If your PC is equipped with sound-playback capabilities, you will have been greeted by the regimental march, the Glendaruel Highlanders. It will only play for about one minute, so don't worry. It can be silenced by pressing the 'escape' button on your computer keyboard. This tune, and others like it, can be downloaded from our Pipe Duty Tunes page.

The Museum moved from Forbes House in Childwall in 1999 where it had reached provisional registration status with the Museums and Galleries Commission. In its new location (officially re-opened in November 2002) it has been awarded 'Fully Registered' status by Resource (Council for Museums, Libraries, Archives and Libraries), the successor to the MGC. It is affiliated to the Army Museums Ogilby Trust and receives professional curatorial advice from the National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside. It receives no public funds on a regular basis (though there have been some recent specific purposes grants) and is maintained otherwise entirely by voluntary donations from well wishers, private regimental sources and from those who have made use of its research services. The Museum has occupied new premises in Botanic Road, Liverpool and has now re-established its displays. It will need to raise substantial funds to ensure the proper provision for display, conservation and storage of its collection.
