The Highland Folk Museum brings to life the domestic and working conditions of earlier Highland peoples. Visitors to this living history Museum can learn how our Highland ancestors lived, how they built their homes, how they tilled the soil and how they dressed, in a safe and friendly environment. An award winning attraction, the Museum encapsulates human endeavour and development in Highland life from the 1700s to the present day.
T he Highland Folk, Newtonmore is a one mile long, eighty acre (32 Hectare) living history site. The site was bought in the 1980s but did not open until 1995 since when it has been proactively developed and enhanced. Within sight of the Cairngorm Mountains this interesting and varied landscape site combines farmland, woodland and open areas. These areas are interpreted through re-located and re-created buildings and features, working demonstrations and live interpreters. The site portrays aspects of 200 years of Highland rural life starting with the early 1700s and ending with the mid 1900s. In addition to interpretation and activity programs, visitors to the site are offered an audio visual introduction, café facilities, toilets, children's play area, shop, picnic areas and on site travel in period style vehicles. |
