Families are invited on a nature-filled "time-travelling adventure" this summer.
The Green Time Machine, part of the HQ Explorer PAST-PORT scheme, will offer free activities across Dunfermline’s Heritage Quarter during the Fife school holidays.
Children will get the chance to learn about the bats living in the Abbey nave, explore the Monks’ Garden, follow a bee trail in the Dunfermline Carnegie Library & Galleries, and discover living exhibits at the Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum.

A spokesperson said: "Young explorers can engage all their senses as they journey through nature in the city’s most historic spaces.
"Sensory discovery and interactive activities across the venues are designed to spark curiosity and connection with the world around us."
Children can also collect four stamps - one from each participating venue - by completing activities.
Once they've collected all four, they’ll earn a certificate to mark their journey.
Families can choose to take part in one day, across several visits, or throughout the summer holidays.
Previous PAST-PORT themes, such as Famous Faces and Summer Safari, have drawn hundreds of local children and international visitors.
One parent described the experience as "a brilliant way to get kids engaged with history while having fun together."

PAST-PORTs are free and can be collected at all four venues.
The scheme runs from Friday, July 4, until Sunday, August 17, and visitors are advised to check each venue’s opening hours before heading out, as they may vary.
Families are encouraged to share their experiences on social media using the hashtags #HQExplorers and #GreenTimeMachine.
