Glencoe Folk Museum

CLOSED 2024 FOR REDEVELOPMENT - WE WILL REOPEN IN SUMMER 2025 Housed within two authentic 19th century thatched cottages, the museum tells the rich and exciting history of the local area - from the carving of the Ballachulish Goddess in 600BC to the opening of the Ballachulish Bridge in 1975, from Jacobite uprisings to World Wars. Take a peek into a MacDonald cottage of the night of the infamous Massacre of Glencoe, dress up as a Jacobite soldier and practice your 'Highland Charge', or simply let our objects transport you to the past. The museum has a fascinating collection of artefacts including Jacobite relics, costume, paintings, agricultural implements, medical equipment, classic toys, photographs, First and Second World War memorabilia, and domestic items from around the Glencoe area.
