Take a journey through time in the north west Highlands at the Gairloch Heritage Museum, discovering the culture, heritage and customs of the beautiful area.
Gairloch Heritage Museum takes you a journey through time in the north west Highlands. Take the opportunity to discover the culture, heritage, traditions and customs of our beautiful area from pre-historic times to present day.
Marvel at the massive lens of the Rubha Reidh lighthouse, see the interior of a croft house and traditional village shop, and discover an illicit whisky still. Examine the locally built and owned fishing boards and discover the rigours and strains of earning a living off the sea.
With a wealth of exhibits, interactive displays and things to do, prepare to be propelled into a past world from the Bronze Age, through crofting, Jacobites, fishing to the present day people of the Highlands. Make an appointment to use the library and archive footage and delve into your own, personal history or relive the life of a crofter, using basic tools and no electricity.
