Granite Jack Trail

Aberdeen Maritime Museum's mascot is a pirate character called "Granite Jack" and a large image of Granite Jack greets visitors in the museum's reception area. We have quiz sheets for our younger visitors to fill in as they go round the building, one is suitable for children under 7 years old and the other is for children 8 years old and above. To help children complete the quiz we have Granite Jack pictures on display throughout the museum leading them complete the quiz. At the end of the trail, everyone gets a Granite Jack badge to take home, along with the quiz sheet.

For further information on how to schedule a visit to Aberdeen Maritime Museum and participate in the Granite Jack trail with your school group or children's group, please contact:
