A note about the student guides
The Zoology Museum tours are devised and led by the students, with support from the University Collections team. Your guide may be a student who has already given many tours, or they may be giving their first tour! You are welcome to ask questions, if there are questions the student guides are unable to answer, you can contact us at uoacollections@abdn.ac.uk. We hope you enjoy your tour.
