Borders Textile Towerhouse offers a wonderful educational resource for secondary teachers looking to extend their learning beyond the classroom.

across the curriculum, including visual art, history, geography, social science, literature and drama.
Our experienced museum educators help your pupils to engage with the museum and its collections and bring the Curriculum for Excellence to life, through discovery, discussion and creative activities.
