Highland Folk Museum

A slice of Highland life can be had at the Highland Folk Museum, Britain’s first premier open-air museum located in the mainland. People can experience first-hand the traditional Scottish life as it was in the 1700s until the present day.

Highland Folk Museum is a sprawling 32-hectare site in Newtonmore replicating the norms and traditions of a typical Scottish countryside. One can see villagers garbed in traditional clothes going about daily chores or demonstrating local crafts. Highland Folk Museum owns an extensive collection of materials and equipment related to the agricultural, domestic and industrial activities of the Highland people.

From sport hunting to manufacturing tartan pieces, different forms of creative arts are also part of Highland Folk Museum. On a more exciting note, the Aultlaurie farmstead provides charming encounters with the animals.

Visiting Highland Folk Museum makes for a relaxing cultural trip into the heart of Highland life. Staying for 3 to 5 hours at the Newtonmore site is recommended. The museum is open from 11 a.m until 4:30 p.m. To enjoy more of the Scottish rural scenery, book a holiday in self-catering cottages, bed & breakfast lodges or standard hotels, which run in abundance in Newtonmore and surrounding towns.
