“Fantastic little museum, really well done with plenty of information and artefacts to look at. As a traveller from New Zealand on a one month European trip, was worth the stop to learn more about my MacPherson roots. Highly recommend”

“We were very happy to find this lovely museum and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. While the focus is on the Macpherson clan, it’s really about people and real life through the ages and how the past came to shape present day Scotland. The volunteer we spoke to was friendly and welcoming and we left with a good understanding of Scottish life. Do try to visit if you can.”
