Stay tuned! Every Wednesday we'll be sharing the story of someone connected to H.M. Factory Gretna with our Worker of the Week blogs.

A huge thank you goes to all our research volunteers for helping to make this possible! 👏

One of the members of The Mossband Swifts was Mary Annie Anderson, who appears in the foreground of this beautiful painting.

Anyone want to learn more about her?

Nae bother. You had over 16,000 which is right anyway!

(Our museum assistant was just showing off. 🙄😂)

And making sure you eat breakfast before you visit a munitions factory.

Delighted to hear you enjoyed you visit! In case you need it for your next quiz, 30,000 people in total worked at the factory. 12,000 of which were women. 😀

Hi, We think we're absolutely the best museum which definitely isn't about porridge but is named after porridge in possibly the whole of Scotland. Although, we do work here.

Visit Scotland does say we're five stars though. 💅

And decline Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's invitation to breakfast. 😂

We reckon a mix of nitro-glycerine and gun-cotton could be a particularly unpleasant bath to be fair. 💥🛁

Please don't try it though.

Dare we ask... what did you guess? 👀😂

Thank you. 😀

Yes! This was called the State Management Scheme. It continued until 1939 when many people fought to keep it. We have some info about this on display.

Fantastic! Thanks. We'll take a look.

Someone should have told Sir Arthur Conan Doyle this in 1916.

Let's hope no one confuses their salty porridge with a mix of nitro-glycerine and the gun-cotton. 🤞 😂

Thank you. 😀
