Excellent museum and guided tour of the Lady Victoria Colliery Museum
National Mining Museum Scotland的点评
点评:After planning for some time to visit the LADY VICTORIA COLLIERY MUSEUM in Newtongrange I finally took the time out to visit. I Booked on line which included the General Admission & Guided Tour. The exhibition was set out in a very explanatory manner detailing not only the history of the Lady Victoria but of coal mining in general. The guided tour was led by an ex-miner by the name of “Jim” who not only give a very informative talk but gave such interesting background information on work in the coal mines. The two endearing features of this visit was it was so refreshing to find a guide such as “Jim” who really made the tour not only informative but entertaining, second point was the very reasonable cost of the visit, so often many of the Scottish tourist locations are now overpriced to such an expensive level. After the tour was finished there was a tea room and shop with books and souvenirs available to purchase. I will definitely visit again.
翻译:在计划了许久之后,我终于抽空去参观了位于纽顿格兰奇的维多利亚女士煤矿博物馆。我在网上预订了门票,费用包含了普通入场券及导览服务。馆内的展览布置得十分详尽,不仅介绍了维多利亚女士煤矿的历史,还讲述了煤炭开采行业的整体发展历程。这次导览由一位名叫“吉姆”的前矿工负责带领。他不仅做了内容丰富的讲解,还讲述了许多关于煤矿工作的有趣背景知识。这次参观有两个令人称道之处:其一,能遇到像“吉姆”这样既能让导览富有知识性又充满趣味的导游,实在令人耳目一新;其二,参观费用也相当合理——要知道,如今苏格兰的很多旅游景点收费都高得离谱。参观结束后,那里还有一个茶室以及售卖书籍和纪念品的商店。我一定会再来的。
