A fabulous museum that should not be overlooked
Savings Bank Museum的点评
点评：I had heard about Henry Duncan and the creation of savings banks before, but knew little about him so was delighted to find this wonderful little museum. We spent around 2 hours in the company of curator Mhairi and were totally captivated by all we saw and learned.
Duncan was a true man of the enlightenment who was involved in writing, painting, archeology, geology, publishing as well as being a minister of religion. His energy and commitment to the community was incredible.
But it was his creation of a savings bank, in the tiny hamlet of Ruthwell, that allowed ordinary people to open bank accounts, for which he will always be best remembered.
Banking might not sound like the subject for a great day out at a museum but don’t worry. This is as good an experience as practically any museum I’ve visited.
If you go, make sure you book on to one of Mhairi’s tours. She is incredibly well informed and tells Duncan’s story with passion and humour.
We spent over 2 hours there and loved every second.
And, I will never look at a piggy bank again without remembering how important they were in the story of allowing working people to make ends meet.
And hopefully you will meet the very talented feline cashier!

翻译：我以前就听说过亨利·邓肯以及储蓄银行的创立，但对他本人了解甚少。因此，当我发现这座极棒的小型博物馆时，真是欣喜不已。我们在馆长姆哈里的陪同下游览了约两小时，被所见到和学到的所有内容深深吸引。
邓肯是一位真正的启蒙主义者，他不仅从事写作、绘画、考古和地质研究，还参与出版事业，甚至担任牧师。他为社区所付出的热情与奉献令人钦佩。不过，正是他在鲁斯韦尔这个小村庄里创办了储蓄银行，才使得普通民众也能开设银行账户。正因如此，他将永远被人们铭记。
银行业听起来或许不算是个适合去博物馆游玩的主题，但别担心——这里的体验几乎不输于我参观过的任何一家博物馆。
如果您打算前往，一定要报名参加Mhairi带领的游览团。她知识渊博，讲述邓肯的故事时既充满热情又妙趣横生。我们在那里待了两个多小时，每一秒都乐在其中。
以后每当我看到存钱罐，都会想起它们在帮助劳动人民维持生计的过程中所发挥的重要作用。
希望你们也能遇到那位才华横溢的“猫咪收银员”哦！
