This is a fascinating little museum tucked away in Newtonmore. It's certainly worth a visit. In telling the story of the MacPhersons, the museum also explores much of Scotland's history.

We had no connection with the Clan Macpherson and wandered in just to pass in the time really, it's not a big building but found it very interesting and the Caretaker was very keen to answer any questions. We exchanged information regarding one exhibit and I think we all learned something that day. More
