Reviews
A very informative and interesting museum all about the famous writer and geologist Hugh Miller. The ladies at the reception desk to the left as you walk in were incredible helpful, friendly and informative. The museum is deceptively big, with 3 levels and the Cottage which Hugh Miller lived in right next to it. The courthouse next to it which is free was also incredibly interesting, and hosts a rather comical court case in the old courthouse for visitors to enjoy. I especially enjoyed the garden in the Hugh Miller museum which features his famous ammonite statue. Really worth the visit and spent a good hour and a half here. A necessity if you're visiting Cromarty!
I have wanted to visit this museum/cottage for ages. I paid £5.50 for entrance and that is a bargain for what you get to see. Hugh Miller was born in the thatched cottage on 10th October 1802 and died in Edinburgh on the 24th December 1856. There is loads to read and learn about. My suggestion is to take your time and try and absorb the time this man was living.nHugh Miller was a geologist, naturalist and was one of the founders of the Free Church of Scotland at the disruption in 1843.nThere is a Hugh Miller trail in Cromarty and there is a statue which is good walking distance.nAll in all an excellent place to visit.
This was a fantastic place to visit and the guides were very friendly and informative. We enjoyed both buildings but the little cottage that Hugh Miller was born in was very atmospheric.
Very interesting museum about the fascinating life of Hugh Miller. Lots to see. Lovely garden too. If you holiday in the NTS owned Paye House next door which I can't recommend highly enough, then you get free entry to the museum. We also took a walk to Eathie Beach after visiting the museum to see the fossils and saw pine martens on our way there!
The father of Geology. Museum and his cottage home. Very interesting and helpful staff.
