Scotland Creates: Museum nan Eilean - Do you dare visit?
This film was made by Ruairidh Macleod and Zoee Macinnes, young volunteers at Museum nan Eilean, as part of the Scotland Creates project.
Funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and Creative Scotland, Scotland Creates gives young people aged 16-24 years old the chance to work with five partner museums and other creative organisations. One of the aims of the project is to encourage young people to use technology to connect, collaborate and get creative. So we asked volunteers from each of the five partners to create a short film to promote their museum to other young people.

Lewis chessmen
The Lewis chessmen are a group of 12th-century chess pieces, along with other gaming pieces, most of which are carved in walrus ivory. Discovered in 1831 on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland, they may constitute some of the few complete, surviving medieval chess sets, although it is not clear if a set as originally made can be assembled from the pieces. When found, the hoard contained 93 artifacts: 78 chess pieces, 14 tablemen and one belt buckle. Today, 82 pieces are owned and usually exhibited by the British Museum in London, and the remaining 11 are at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
