One of the most beautiful museum I’ve ever been. It gives a clear overview of the history of the highlands - focusing on the rise of the Jacobites and a room dedicated to the green Barrett’s and their role in WW2. Would definitely recommend to anyone who has only just a small interest in history.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Lovely little free museum, a bit cramped inside but full of interesting artefacts. Favourite room was the commando room, with a great short film about them training and some freaky interesting objects. Friendly staff, would recommend.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

I was positively surprised by this nice and interesting museum. Due to the free entry it is a really good alternative on a rainy day. It is a very lovely and thoughtful designed local museum. One can learn about the entire history of Fort William and its part in national history. The staff was really enthusiastic and friendly and provided us with further information. In conclusion it's a really good museum and if you find yourself in Fort William on a rainy or a rest day between sports activities it's definitely worth a visit!
Good wee museum. Different rooms for different topics. Worth a visit
You have to visit. The history and relics are amazingVisited onWeekend
A place that shows in history of West Scotland. Amazing stories and exhibits take us back in time. Fantastic and kind staff. I recommend it for the whole family
A great museum showed a lot of the local history one that I would recommend. They also catered for little people providing an Xmas elf hunt which allowed in my view for a more calm visit due to interspersing it with the history of the area.
Greeted by the friendliest person in Fort William, who gave us a very informative introduction to everything there including the history of the building itself. Wonderful exhibits, and beautiful remnants of the history within Scotland. And it's all free bar one room but that's only £3. Would definitely recommend and come again!
Really adorable place! Small but nice and warm-welcoming! It was a pleasure to speak with people.working there and knew a little bit more about Fort William! Hidden picture is so cool!
