Invergordon Museum — Attraction in Scotland

When I researched Invergordon before travelling there, this museum became the main attraction for me. I had sent an email to confirm entry times. It was on a side street a lot further down the High Street from the train station than I had thought from Google Maps. (MY problem on a very warm day). There were two volunteers there when I visited. One gave me a lot of information on much of the museum contents and they both were people I was very pleased to have met. It is a lovely building with displays only on one level. It is disabled friendly with easy passage between lines of displays. I was told that there could be crowds there when ships 🚢 were in port, so I had picked my day well.

There are very reasonable, quirky shops for art and souvenirs much cheaper than many other areas you will encounter in the larger cities. All of the locals I spoke with were lovely and very appreciative of...

Invergordon seems like one of those places that is bypassed by most driving by on the A9, it deserves more people stopping off to appreciate...
