Highland Folk Museum - 1

Well here we are at the start of our visit to the Highland Folk Museum at Newtonmore. Please click on the photo for a clearer picture of the plan of the site.



Acquired in the late 1980s, the site is about 80 acres and a mile long. It is bounded on the north by the old A9, the Kingussie to Newtonmore Road and, on the south, by the River Spey. The railway from Inverness to London also passes along the middle of its length.

The Museum had its first main year in 1996 and has continued to develop as an award winning site.
