Reviews
Fantastic place to visit, so much to see and a great way to spend the day. Great insight into Scottish life through the ages. If your in the area definitely worth visiting. It's free but you can donate recommend donations about £10 parking was only a couple of pound for the day. Worth every penny in my opinion.
This museum is spread over a large area so be prepared to walk a fair bit. There are a great number of exhibits to view,all in all a great place to visit. Cafe on site is a bit busy between 12 and 2pm,but there are a lot of outside tables with benches if weather is good,which it was today. Pinewood walk and village is also very interesting. There were a lot of kids at museum and they seemed to enjoy experience. No entrance fee but they do ask for donation.
Lovely museum with loveliest staffs. The old township was fascinating and the 3 different colours highland coos are the cutest. There is also no entrance fee. Highly recommended!
Great stop with LOTS of walking. This is around one mile in length with plenty of elevation change for mobility hindered or concerned folks. Paths are nice, wide and well groomed but quite a lot of walking. The exhibits are quite good, a handy booklet with map, each page corresponding to a featured building or section come included with the suggested donation. Super friendly, happy to do their job, greeters at check in booth one must pass to gain entrance.nAnd there are three HAIRY COOS! Fabulous little guys. I don’t know what the heck it is about these critters but they near entrance me. Took way too many pictures and mostly they show their butt “at”you. Occasionally one may get a prized face shot but quite elusive.nThree different time periods set in actual period building styles and there are actors dressed in same time frame outfits that enrich the experience in the 1700s, time zone, if you will.nClever, interesting. Something for everyone. And all for a small donation.nExcellent job in maintaining a representation of the life and trials of Highlander living.nThe idea, that in unbelievably harsh winters, like HARSH!!! What with the 15-20 FEET of snow fall during those years, the people MUST have the necessary food stores to sustain the exceedingly long winters. Folks would have both a “people” side and a livestock side to the dwellings. Everything would die if not.nMost of the poor didn’t even own and livestock and those that did cohabited with their beasts. In mild seasons most just lived outside. But in cold temps there could be as many as 70 people in these smoke-filled, literal stone huts. The smoke served a purpose other than burning your eyes! The rats, lice and other pests wouldn’t take up residence in the thatch roof since it was always, constantly seeping smoke. Drove the vermin away. One less problem!nIt’s amazing humanity survived in these parts. Tough sons and daughters of guns!!! I mean like super tough, hardy folk!!!nFabulous stop off the highway motorway for young and old. 8-80!!! Loads of paid parking. And if you can, pass along your unexpired parking voucher/receipt to someone else. Makes for an even more pleasant experience.nnPretty clean.nnToilets and cafe not literally side by side, near entrance. Sweet shop at one end near the stars of the show, hairy coo. That by the way, pretty much eat all dam day long from my observation! Kinda need to, not a lot of caloric alive in grass. Gotta keep up their coo figure!nnOne could spend a good while there.nLots of smiling faces and likely slightly sore feet if you walked a lot that day! Like we did thanks to my beloved, marathon style, sightseeing wife! Happy to do it and you likely will be too. Bring children and run them hard and they’ll crash out hard lol! For your sake! Hopefully.
This is a gem of a find! Free entry and only £2 to park, this is a must visit for any outlander fan or anyone interested in the history! Spent 3 hours here, time well spent, could have stayed another 2 to see it all.nnAccessibility is varied. You'll struggle to get into all the replica buildings if you are wheelchair bound and the township pictured below is accessed through a very steep woodland walk, so either a mobility scooter or a very fit pusher is needed! All the essentials is wheelchair friendly though!
