Following the disbandment of V (The Liverpool Scottish) Company of the 5th / 8th (Volunteer) Battalion, King's Regiment and the closure of the Forbes House Drill Hall in Childwall during 1999, the Liverpool Scottish Museum has until 2002 been without a home whilst the serving Liverpool Scottish soldiers moved to other TA Centres. However, the move to the new Forbes House at Botanic Road in Liverpool took place early in 2001 and the museum was officially reopened on Saturday 16th November 2002.
The Museum is open to visitors on a limited basis at present, normally on a Wednesday afternoon/evening (2 pm to 7 pm and later by arrangement) and other times by arrangement. Interested groups are welcomed by prior arrangement. A phone call to the Honorary Curator or the Honorary Secretary before the intended visit is strongly advised to confirm availability and to avoid a wasted journey. Other queries should initially be made by e-mail or post. Experimentally we intend that there will be additional days (probably once a month) on which we will welcome visitors (often in conjunction with other events) and these will be published here and on the current internet newsletter (see menu).
Contact with the Museum may be made by telephone, post at the address below or e-mail.

There continues to be a substantial serving Territorial Army element of The Liverpool Scottish as part of A (King's) Company of The King's and Cheshire Regiment based at Townsend Avenue in Liverpool and a Liverpool Scottish cadet detachment of Merseyside ACF has relocated to new premises beside the Museum in Botanic Road.
