Highland Folk Museum

The Highland Folk Museum brings to life the domestic and working conditions of earlier Highland peoples. Visitors to this living history Museum can learn how our Scottish Highland ancestors lived, how they built their homes, how they tilled the soil and how they dressed, in a friendly and welcoming environment. An award winning visitor attraction, the Museum not only encapsulates human endeavour and development in Highland life from the 1700s to the present day, but offers an opportunity to explore a beautiful natural setting, home to red squirrels and tree creepers. A great day out for everyone! NO ENTRY CHARGE - DONATIONS WELCOME!!

CORACLES AHOY!

This season has seen over 1000 of you having a go in a coracle on our Sawmill Pond for the first time ever! Huge thanks go to Raymond and Jeremy from the Insh Coracle Club for coming along to various special events and letting our visitors take a turn on the water in these historical craft.

This Thursday lunchtime saw the 1000th visitor take to the water (pictured with Raymond and a coracle) and the grand total for the season was 1105! We hope you enjoyed having a go in the coracles - send us your pics below if you were one of the 1105 this season!
