What a great museum for the children, and adults. Full of information about how Scotland changed to years ago and great interactive displays for the children. PS5 per adult and U18's go free, worth every penny. Highly recommend a visit if staying nearby or passing through.
Glad we stopped here as even being a small place but great for history... From ancient times of the Picts almost into our times you can get a glimpse of the North Scottish history and clan Mackay... Definitely worth a stop if you're visiting the area or if you're on NC500 road trip...
Excellent local museum. Very personal stories of Clearances. MacKay stuff very cool.
Could have spent many more hours just looking and listening. History made interesting. Highly recommended
A wonderful volunteer run museum. Small though packed with great information and relics.
We discovered this place while out exploring during 2019. From the outside it does not look like much but once inside it is a different story. Inside is a wealth of information and history especially about the Highland Clearances. We did not expect to find much in here and thought we would just be in and out within about 30 minutes. We spent a couple of hours in there and then a walk around the graveyard to see the Farr Stone. Well worth a visit especially if you want to know more about the history of the highlands and the clearances.
