National Museum of Rural Life

Museums

East Kilbride

South Lanarkshire

In response to the impact of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) all National Museums Scotland museums are now closed to the public until further notice.

Explore life in the countryside at this five-star museum, historic farmhouse and working farm - all just 13 miles from Glasgow's city centre.

In the museum, learn about the land, people and ways of working that have shaped Scotland's rural history, and discover Scotland's largest collection of tractors, combine harvesters and other farming machinery.

Just a short walk or tractor-trailer ride from the museum is the working farm, home to Ayrshire, Aberdeen Angus and Highland cattle, Tamworth pigs, sheep, hens and Clydesdale horses. Meet the animals, then visit the Georgian farmhouse where Lanarkshire's Reid family lived for ten generations. See rooms decorated as they would have been in the 1950s and explore the bothy, outbuildings and kitchen garden.

Don't forget to round off your visit with a stop at the museum's award-winning cafe, the perfect place for some good old-fashioned home baking.
