Highland Folk Museum, Open-air museum in Newtonmore, Scotland.
The Highland Folk Museum extends across 80 acres of land, featuring 35 historical buildings that demonstrate Scottish Highland life from different periods.
Dr. Isabel Frances Grant established the museum in 1935, initially on the island of Iona, before relocating to Laggan in 1939 and finally to Newtonmore.
The museum presents traditional Highland domestic life through reconstructed buildings, including furniture, farming tools, musical instruments, and everyday objects from past centuries.
Visitors can access the museum from March to October, with different opening hours depending on the season and a parking fee structure for various vehicle types.
The site houses red squirrels and tree creepers within its grounds, combining natural wildlife observation with historical education.
