Welcome to SEED
SEED is one of four engagement projects developed as part of Sophy & White: The Dunollie Collections Unboxed, a project funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
The SEED theme explores traditional agriculture, food growing, local farming practices, skills and customs, and how mechanisation has transformed both our landscape and the way we produce and consume food.
Staff at Dunollie Museum, Castle and Grounds have created a range of learning resources for primary-aged learners. These resources can be used individually as standalone activities or combined to support a wider learning programme.
On this page, you can download resources, watch our short films, and find out about the borrowing box.

Borrow the SEED handling box
The downloadable resources can be used independently, but they have been designed primarily for use alongside the handling box and are particularly suitable for learners working at Curriculum for Excellence Second Level.
To arrange a loan of the handling box, please contact us at info@dunollie.org
Please note:
- The handling box must be collected from and returned to Dunollie by the borrowing school or organisation.
- A refundable £10 deposit is required to cover any accidental damage or breakages.
