<dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Being so far inland, Kippen is not somewhere you would expect to find a boat builders! Boats used to be fully built and fitted out in Kippen before being transported to Greenock. Kippen boat builders, James and Niven Miller, moved to Kippen from St Monans in Fife in 1937 and started building clinker boats and then lifeboats. Clinker boats developed in Northern Europe and are built with the hull planks overlapping each other, it is a style of boat building that has been around since medieval times. A variety of tools and other interesting historic artefacts will be on display for visitors.&lt;/p&gt;
