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!!

TALK AT THE CLAN MACPHERSON MUSEUM

As part of this year’s Highland Archaeology Festival, Maureen Hammond – the Highland Folk Museum’s PhD researcher from the University of the Highlands and Islands – will be giving a talk on ‘Badenoch Textiles in the 18th Century’ at the Clan Macpherson Museum in Newtonmore at 2.30pm on 10th October.

The talk, which is free, focuses on the infamous trial of Mackintosh of Borlum in 1773, and makes use of research that Maureen has carried out with the collections of textiles here at the Highland Folk Museum. For further details, see: https://tinyurl.com/yd3p6f7a

KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED!

If you are watching BBC Alba tonight you might catch a glimpse of our Highland Cottage, which was recently used in filming to represent the home of the murderer!

The documentary is about the Man Booker Prize shortlisted novel "His Bloody Project" by Graeme Macrae Burnet which is based in a quiet Highland village - tune in tonight from 9pm to find out more.
