“A little gem of Scottish history. The gentleman was very kind. Recommended. Well-stocked bookshop. Historically very accurate. A must-see for anyone interested in clan history.”
“We were very happy to find this lovely museum and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. While the focus is on the Macpherson clan, it’s really about people and real life through the ages and how the past came to shape present day Scotland. The volunteer we spoke to was friendly and welcoming and we left with a good understanding of Scottish life. Do try to visit if you can.”
