    The Devil's Porridge Museum in Eastriggs, Scotland offers visitors an informative look into the history of HM Factory Gretna, a World War I munitions factory. The museum covers the social and industrial impact of the factory on the local area. Exhibits showcase the dangerous work of the "Gretna Girls" who mixed cordite paste, nicknamed "devil's porridge." The museum provides a good balance of interactive displays and historical artifacts, giving insight into wartime production and life on the home front. Some visitors note that the museum is larger than expected and offers more content than anticipated. The staff are generally described as knowledgeable and friendly. While most find the museum engaging, a few mention that certain areas could benefit from updates or more interactive elements.
