It’s time to go WILD with science at Muiravonside Country Park on Saturday.

The event, which runs from 11am to 3pm, offers visitors the chance to carve soap with Historic Environment Scotland, find out what birds live in the ancient woodland with the RSPB and try out a number of hands-on workshops with Light Lab Explorer including UV drawings with ultra-violet torches.
