Education

Teachers - Do you sometimes feel like putting your pupils behind bars? Now is your chance. Bring them to Inveraray Jail and place them in our custody.

Our Warders, Matron and Prisoners will help your pupils discover for themselves what life was really like in a Scottish prison in the 19th century by making them feel as if they’ve stepped back in time.

The Jail, with its beautifully restored 1820 Courtroom and two fascinating old prisons, is ideal for school parties as there are plenty of "hands on" activities designed to stimulate and educate keen young minds.

To increase the sense of involvement we provide special prison clothing and encourage all school parties to dress up! We can also provide worksheets and personalised Parole Certificates on departure free of charge.

At least an hour and a half should be allowed for visiting Inveraray Jail. There must be at least one supervisor per ten children.
