Groam House Museum, Independent museum in Rosemarkie, Scotland.
Groam House Museum is a small independent museum in Rosemarkie housing collections of carved stones and artistic objects from ancient times. The building itself sits within the village and presents these materials through traditional display methods.
The museum was established in the 1980s to preserve stone objects that people created and left behind over many centuries. These pieces come from a period when communities in this region used carved stones to mark important places and tell their stories.
The collection reveals how local artisans carved stories and symbols into stone that meant something to the people living here. Walking through the rooms, you can see patterns that reflected daily life and beliefs of the time.
The museum operates during warmer months, so plan your visit between spring and autumn to find the doors open. The building has some accessibility limitations, so consider your mobility needs before arriving.
One of the most interesting pieces is a large carved cross that reveals details about religious practices from centuries ago. This particular object shows how spiritual beliefs were displayed in the landscape and continues to stand in the village today.

Inverness is a place where history and nature sit side by side. Medieval castles stand on the cliffs above the river, while ancient stone circles hidden in the countryside tell stories from thousands of years ago. You can walk through the city center and find Victorian buildings, churches, and markets all within reach of each other. Just beyond the city, you'll find Loch Ness stretching through the glens, forests reaching up into the Cairngorms, and quiet spots where you can watch wildlife or follow paths along the river islands. The region holds layers of Scottish history. You can visit the ruins of Urquhart Castle on the loch shore, explore the Bronze Age burial chambers at Clava Cairns, or stand on Culloden Battlefield where one of Britain's last major battles took place. Fort George remains one of the most complete 18th-century military fortresses you can walk through. In the city itself, Victorian architecture lines the streets, with the cathedral and castle both commanding views from high ground. For visitors, the mix of places to explore makes Inverness feel like a crossroads of different worlds. You can spend an afternoon in museums and galleries, catch a performance at a modern theater, or venture out to wild countryside within minutes. The landscape itself draws people—whether for boat trips on the loch, hiking trails, or simply the feeling of being in the Highlands.
