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!!

CAN YOU SPOT US?

Tonight the Museum will feature on BBC ALBA - Sar Sgeoil at 9pm. The film crew used our Blackhouse for filming earlier in the year so we are looking forward to seeing if we can spot it tonight! In the programme Cathy MacDonald visits Strathnaver in the north of Scotland – the Sutherland glen from which some 2000 people were forcibly removed during the Highland clearances of the early 19th century. This dark period in Highland history forms the backdrop to Iain Crichton Smith’s classic novel, “Consider the Lilies”. Cathy explores the fact behind the fiction in this moving tale.
