Question
To ask the Scottish Government when it will announce its preferred location(s) for a national slavery museum as part of action to address historic links to the transatlantic slave trade.
Answer
The Scottish Government is not at this stage considering options for a national slavery museum. The remit of the independent Empire, Slavery and Scotland’s Museums steering group is to explore the most appropriate model and mechanism of delivery of a museum. The group was asked not to explore costings or specific locations of a potential building.
