- Morag, a pioneering cloned sheep, is now on permanent public display at the National Museum of Rural Life in East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire.
- Morag and her identical twin, Megan, made history in June 1995 at Edinburgh's Roslin Institute as the first mammals successfully cloned from differentiated cells.
- Their cloning was a monumental achievement that directly paved the way for the birth of Dolly the sheep, the first mammal cloned from an adult cell, in 1996.
- Professor Andrew Kitchener of National Museums Scotland highlighted Morag's crucial role, stating that Dolly's historic birth would not have been possible without her.
- Morag forms the centrepiece of a new museum display exploring the role of science in agriculture, including future farming technologies like robotics and artificial intelligence.
