Answered by Fiona Hyslop on 23 Jul 2010 · 25 days after it was lodged, on time

I was pleased to visit the Scottish Maritime Museum on 14 June to open the new PS Lochlomond gallery, to announce an additional £100,000 funding for the museum, and to hear about its work and future challenges. The financial situation of the Scottish Maritime Museum and other industrial museums is being considered by the Museums Think Tank. Museums Galleries Scotland is working with the Maritime Museum to help ensure the development of a sustainable business model for the museum.
