West Highland Museum, Independent museum in Fort William, Scotland.
The West Highland Museum houses eight exhibition rooms across three floors, displaying artifacts that represent the Scottish Highlands and Islands history.
Founded in 1922 by Victor Hodgson, the museum first gathered exhibits in the Public Reading Room before moving to its current location in Cameron Square.
The museum exhibits contain numerous Jacobite artifacts, including Bonnie Prince Charlie's silk waistcoat and a collection of traditional Highland bagpipes.
The museum operates Monday through Saturday from 10:00 to 17:00 during summer months, with reduced hours from October to April.
The Governor's Room displays a birching table used by Fort William town council until 1948, representing local judicial practices.
