Come and seen some traditional blacksmithing skills in action. And maybe buy some local crafts while you are there. Strachur Smiddy was established in the late 18th century and run by the same family till the 1950s. It is now a Museum and Craft shop. We have a volunteer blacksmith who works at the forge on Saturdays and Sundays. We don't charge for entry but we welcome donations to help us meet our running costs. There are more updates on our Facebook page. If you want to contact us please use the contact page on our website.
Really interesting place for a visit. I've tried to catch it at the right time on several occasions. Check the hours of opening before going. It is open two days but the Smith is only in the Sunday. We caught him in and it was well worth the time. He has a huge amount of knowledge on the place and the skills. He was happy to talk, we only just managed to get there ahead of closing (4pm). A must for anyone interested in traditional blacksmithing. The kids will by put to work on the bellows! Lovely little shop with arts and crafts gifts many from the forge itself.
Popped in for a visit, lovely little museum, keeping the traditional crafts alive. It's really only one room, the Smith itself, but full of tools, horseshoes, the history of the Smith and the village.
Look out for Folk concerts here too. NB the museum is open from Easter till the end of September.
Nice place, good service, friendly staff reasonable proces of products.
