My company has a site three hours away from Edinburgh; during april
this year I plan to be there for a few weeks. Is it worth to see the
museum? What would be the best approach to get in contact with these
guys? I assume the kayaking stuff is not on regular display, but in
the magazine and donīt have the slightest idea about the procedure.
Anyway, if there is something worth investigating, just ask.
Cheers
