B. Dragon
C. Lizard

Correct!
This collection of birds’ eggs was assembled between 1905 and 1910. The eggs were collected along the shore of Loch Gairloch. Around twenty different species are represented – all seabirds. The collecting of wild birds’ eggs is now heavily restricted and, in some cases, a criminal offence.
What animal could be found in here?
A. Giraffes
B. Hedgehogs
C. Fish
try again!
Correct!
This is called a creel. It would have been used by fishwives to carry fish for selling either door to door or at the market. The Nairn Fishwives would often walk for miles to Inverness, sometimes further afield to hawk their fish. Their creels would often have been very heavy.
Which animals can you see on this tea cosy?
A. Birds & snakes
B. Ducks & slugs
C. Seals & worms
try again!
Correct!
This very special tea cosy has been embroidered with intricate birds and snakes. It is inspired by Celtic Art, and uses traditional patterns like knots. It was created by a woman called Euphemia Ritchie in the early 20th century.
