Scotland Maritime Museums

It's been a while since I visited these museums.
The test tank is very interesting, there's a beautiful model of Cutty Sark.
The Irvine museum appears to have been spruced up since my visit, it was very workmanlike before.
City of Adelaide was there, waiting to go to Australia.
If you like 'Clyde puffers' there's Spartan at Irvine, Vital Spark at Inverary and Auld Reekie at Crinian.
You can go aboard the Glenlee at Glasgow Riverside museum, the museum itself as Roger says is more style than substance.
If your passing, go into Wemyss Bay railway station, beautiful.
