We discovered this place while out exploring during 2019. From the outside it does not look like much but once inside it is a different story. Inside is a wealth of information and history especially about the Highland Clearances. We did not expect to find much in here and thought we would just be in and out within about 30 minutes. We spent a couple of hours in there and then a walk around the graveyard to see the Farr Stone.

Well worth a visit especially if you want to know more about the history of the highlands and...

Very good place to stop, stretch your legs, and spend an hour learning about the history of Northern Scotland. Has a quite brilliant little Mackay section upstairs where you can learn about all things Mackay. Extra brownie points for seeing that it would be comparatively quite expensive for us to go in with our 4 kids and duly let a couple of them in for...

A beautifully kept museum with such friendly staff. We expected this to be a quick visit but there is so much to see! The renovation is gorgeous but the whole place still feels so rich in history.

Absolute must visit for Mackay descendants and any one interested in the clearances. Small museum but a wealth of information on what happened. Eye witness statements about the clearances. I'm so glad I was able to visit. Be aware. Local establishments don't serve food all day. There's hours long gaps between lunch and dinner service.

Glad we stopped here as even being a small place but great for history... From ancient times of the Picts almost into our times you can get a glimpse of the North Scottish history and clan Mackay... Definitely worth a stop if you're visiting the area or if you're on NC500 road trip...
