Take a look at a washboard from Ullapool Museum and a carpet beater from the Highland Museum of Childhood 2) Next, use the fun \u2018What\u2019s that Noise?\u2019 activity to engage your class with the wonderful world of butter-making from Ullapool Museum. 3) Discover daily life in the Seaboard villages, with the incredible achievement of Jessie MacDonald, a Highland school teacher whose students collected stories from the community. Those stories have been preserved in an original copy of \u2018Down to the Sea\u2019 at the Seaboard Centre. Pair this book with the fisherwoman\u2019s creel from Nairn Museum.\u00a0Fisherwoman\u2019s Creel | Museum of the Highlands<\/a><\/p>\n 4) Learn about crofting life in the fun activity Could You Survive? 5) Finally, what would it have been like to live through the Potato Famine?
