Lovey little museum set in a old war bunker. Had a fab time looking around and the cafe was fantastic. Little on the small side but the price reflects this.

What a really well run and informative museum.Entry for the family was cheap enough (£15.00).Staff were very friendly, informative and approachable and the information set out throughout the museum was in a form that the children could understand.We went to the cafe and the staff were also friendly, in particular Sally, who was not only friendly but also acknowledged that my family and I were visiting from out of the area and informed us of what to do as a family. These small things from local residents go a long way and make the visit memorable. Prices in the cafe were very reasonable, especially for a family of 5.Our children loved dressing up clothes too.Great place to visit for the family.

A lovely little find on our NC500 trip. The video in the small theatre room upstairs did a great job of explaining the history of the area, paying homage to the locals who used to work the crofts and the gaelic language that they spoke. If you have kids then you'll probably be in and out pretty quickly as it's not a big place and a lot of the displays involve reading, but there's easily enough to keep adults entertained for a few hours, maybe an hour for kids. Even if you just want to pop in for some gifts, the gift shop seemed to have a lot of local products instead of the usual plastic tat.

Lovely little museum. Not at the location shown on Google maps as this is the old museum. 5 minute walk further on past the shops.Very friendly staff, knowledgeable and helpful.Cafe was fabulous, 2 lovely ladies working here. We were welcomed by the beautiful smell of hone-cooking. Food was fabulous and nice to have the personal touch in this venue, not often found these days. Quality food and fabulous interaction. Thank you

Went on a wet day. Thought it was going to be a bit rubbish, but I was mistaken! We were in the for about 2 hours. There was a little movie which told a story of Gairlochs history and some fantastic taxidermy animals. Some which I'd happily pay to own! Went for a pot of tea and cake in the cafe which was all homemade and delicious! Sat outside on the balcony with a beautiful view of the surrounding area. Lovely little place to go.

Excellent museum and really fabulous café upstairs with great homemade food.This is a thoroughly engaging museum with so much to discover! You could spend several hours here and still want to come back again. Lots of interesting displays and interactive pieces. Enjoyable for all ages. Great wee shop, too!Makes any visit to Gairloch even better, with lots to learn about such a beautiful place.

Very nice little museum showing the history of the area and how people made a living here. Very modern museum with a large variety of well presented artifacts. Great Café with homemade cakes and meals, very friendly staff. Our secret tip: the archeological trail, that starts behind the museum. It takes about 2 hours and leads to a lot of remnants of 3000+ years old roundhouses, including stunning views. When we did the hike, we were accompanied by a lot of fantastic rainbows.

I was recently in the area on holiday. Was just passing by the museum and decided to visit. So glad I did. For a small museum it holds a wealth of information presented in an interesting and modern way and seems suitable for all ages. It has very modern facilities which include a fabulous cafe and gift shop. The staff in the museum and cafe were lovely. All in all it was a great place to learn about the area and sample the delicious home bakes. Sorry no photos other than the delicious soup and cheese and seaweed scone!Thanks...
