East Lothian Museums have stuff on Flickr here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/eastlothian And on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/museumservice (not my choice - blame Angus) Not MySpace, as most young people round here use Bebo, and I'm awaiting a response regarding setting up a Bebo site (terms of service imply that it's for individuals). We are working on podcasts (I say 'we' but I actually mean 'Andrew, our Education Officer') - first one here: http://www.eastlothianmuseums.org/wp/?p=28 ...more in train working with a couple of schools (must chase him up on that when he gets back). As Andy Wood noted, we use MP3 players (as well as mobile phones) for the audio tour at Prestongrange (and you can download it too). We certainly qualify as a smaller museum, too. Feel free to get in touch if you want to know more.
