The George Waterston Museum is a small museum located in the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland, United Kingdom. The museum showcases the life and work of George Waterston, a Scottish naturalist and ornithologist who was instrumental in the discovery and conservation of the capercaillie, a large grouse species. The museum features exhibits on Waterston's life, his contributions to ornithology, and the natural history of the Cairngorms. It also offers information on the local wildlife, including the capercaillie, and provides a glimpse into the region's unique cultural heritage.
This is a free museum with exhibits and artifacts that celebrate Fair Isle's famous woolen knits, centuries of shipwrecks and the sheep farming tradition.The museum guide was wonderful! He talked about the island's importance during World War II. There is a typical Fair Isle parlor display and information about the island's plants and animals. It is an accredited museum that's only a short walk from the south lighthouse.
Some interesting artefacts here, and if you have the time, lots of family history documents to read. There isn't much space if there are a few of you, but they have made the most of the room they have.
Very nice museum about the history of Fair Isle. Nice docents there to explain things.
Great little museum packed with history
