Arctic Convoy Museum — Attraction in Scotland

We made a special trip over to Aultbea from Moray to visit the museum this week. It was well worth it. There are many interesting displays and in particular it was worth sitting and watching the whole of the video that is available to view in the back corner of the museum. That taught us so much. We were given a pamphlet detailing areas of further interest around Loch Ewe relating to its WW2 history and we went off after our visit to explore each one. Not only did it give us a better feel for what occurred in the area during the war years, but we had fantastic views of the locality from angles we may never have seen otherwise. Yes, we were very fortunate with the weather - and no midges! Thank you to the staff at the museum for your enthusiasm and service. Very well done. We hope that more interest in this niche area of WW2 will be raised during the 80th anniversary. The brave souls who served at that time deserve to be more widely remembered for the part...

This is a wonderful record of our history, WW2. The courage of the navy & merchant navy personnel. Extraordinary men & women doing extraordinary work on the convoy ships to Russia. You must be prepared to read a lot of the information. If you can have the patience to read the articles & look at the artifacts then you get the sense of the courage required to sail on these convoys. The hardships of weather & the fear of encountering the german U-boats & their dreaded torpedoes!! The volunteer was so knowledgeable about the convoys and the people on board & on shore! It was a sheer joy to listen to her explain living history. My auntie was a wren during WW2, so this was very real. Wonderful wee museum, take the time!...

Excellent place to visit and understand the landscape and history of the Loch Ewe area. There is plenty for everyone to enjoy from great models of the vessels that took part for kids (and us bigger kids) to a rich history of information and stories from the brave men that served on those ships.

Plenty of parking outside and easy to find being right next to the NC500. Disabled ramp for entry to premises and plenty of room to manoeuvre inside.

We forget so easily that those who are enemies were once friends and allies, this serves as a memory of those times and it is important we learn and remember that. I deliberately took no photos as it's important you visit and read and look...
