Dingwall Museum — Attraction in Scotland

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Visited here with my mum and 10 year old son today. As soon as I went in my son was snapped at and told not to touch anything. I originally thought ok yes he shouldn’t touch anything and said to my son he should only look and not touch. (Although he hadn’t actually touched anything we had just walked through the door) we then went into the second room where there was a touch screen tv which told you different stories about war. My son was touching the buttons. The same man came in went into my sons face and said “stop touching every button and listen to what it’s saying or get off it” i actually thought he was joking he so agressive soon to realise he wasn’t. I spoke to the man at the counter and explained what happens. He said it can’t be a member of staff as they would encourage kids to touch. When pointing the man out I was told he was the chair man of the museum. I explained what had happened and he said would have a word. I wouldn’t recommend going here...

Met Ian Macleod who gave us a guided tour and had great knowledge of the exhibits, including some items which could not be exhibited but had relevance to questions we asked. A lovely man who could not do enough for us even showing us to a street where my partner's aunt had lived....

Really interesting and well curated local museum - one of the best I've seen in Scotland. A good variety of topics covered and very well put together visually, with plenty of artifacts and local colour....
