Many thanks for accommodating our Womens Group on their recent visit . They really enjoyed it and were well impressed!

While attending a retired police officers' conference last week in Cumbernauld, I met up with Jim Manson, a fellow retired colleague, who had brought along many of the artefacts from the Lanarkshire Police Historical Society collection. Quite a display I think you'll agree. Hopefully one day very soon, we can arrange for Jim to bring his fantastic Viva Panda car to the TPM in Kirriemuir, along with some of the 'vehicles' they have in the LPHS Kids' Corner. ... See more

Well, that's our 2018 season up and running, and we've already welcomed over 250 visitors! The recently refurbished Police sign is up on the wall, and we've spruced up the uniform section housed in Cell 1.

Yesterday morning I met with Michael Mulford at the Police Museum who gave me a fascinating presentation on his long time research into one of our more popular exhibits, namely the story of William Henry Bury, the last man to be hanged in Dundee (in 1889) and who is suspected by many of being the infamous Jack The Ripper of Whitechapel in London. Very detailed evidence, fascinating documents, and a truly compelling case. Michael's findings are supported by eminent criminologists, pathologists, and members of the legal profession. Not quite 'case closed', but undoubtedly a very likely candidate for JTR! We'll tell you more about it when you visit the museum. ... See more
