Great museum but not the best welcome. As a tour guide with small groups I like to visit the Black Isle and my group were interested in Pictish carvings so thought I’d try it. We initially got a great welcome from one of the volunteer ladies who I gave a large donation to. My group very much enjoyed it but then another lady who I’m guessing might of been the supervisor came in and to say the least made me feel like I had ruined her day by bringing my group in. They only have a maximum of 16 pax to be allowed in at one time which I didn’t know but understand, we were 13 and had pretty much the place to ourselves but was spoken too in front of my guests who were buying things from the shop that to call ahead.

Great museum and recommend it but attitude wasn’t great. It’s a lovely museum and worth a visit though with lots of good information...

We had visited this museum last year and really enjoyed it, so much so that we took our grandchildren there last Weds only to find no one there. We arrived just after 11am when it should open. Thinking may be the person was delayed we went for a walk on the beach and returned just after 12 noon. Still no one. Our grandchildren were extremely disappointed as they are keen on Pictish stones. If there was a problem a note on the door with an explanation would have been useful. This was doubly disappointing as we had enjoyed our previous visit and found the staff...
