Highland Folk Museum

Visit this open-air “living village” with restored old buildings and actors dressed as their ancestors from past generations.

The Scottish Highlands of yore come to life at the Highland Folk Museum, an open-air “living village” with restored old buildings and actors dressed as their ancestors from past generations. 

This village, covering the years from the early 1700s to the mid-1900s, is comprised of over 30 historical buildings either built as replicas or moved here from original locations. It has even been used as a location for the Outlander television series.

Located in Newtonmore, visitors can also partake in old-fashioned activities, grab a bite to eat at the café or buy traditional handcrafts in the gift shop.
