The museum & gift shop were closed as we were here on a Sunday. It was a pretty place to walk around, take in the views and see the cows. We were lucky enough to see a hairy Coo and got lots of pictures.

We found this place while driving past and mostly stopped for a bite to eat and a drink. Very glad that we stopped and visited though as interesting museum showing life on Skye as it was (and not from that far in the past either). Lovely views as well.

Great value for money. An insight to island life 19th/20th century, it's well set out with lots of information boards explain the history of the islanders life and also a section on Flora MacDonald and Jacobite, Charles Edward Stuart.An area is dedicated to the men lost in battle in WW1, a sad reminder to the sacrifice the islanders made during the war.The souvenir shop on the way out is worth a look, with prices comparable to shops in the towns. The friendly and knowledgeable staff are available to answer any questions you may have.

The things you'll learn here about life just 70 years ago on this island. The genocide from the Crown against the locals. The way peat is used and made. Everything is just amazing and everything you read is actually interesting. We spent quite a bit of time here looking, reading, absorbing and even the gift shop is reasonably priced. One of my favorite stop offs of our trip to the Isle of Skye.

It wasn't all that long ago that people used to live here and this museum does a great job at displaying what life would have been like. A super shop, friendly staff and free parking. Well worth the entry fee and a must visit for anyone interested in the local history.

Exploring this ancient village museum in the north of Skye Island truly transports you back in time. It's fascinating to see how people once lived

Lovely place to visit. Seeing the houses and looking at how people lived gave us complete respect for them, how hard life must have been.

Decent place to visit to better understand the life of the local tribes from back in the day. Frankly I didn’t find it to be worth the stop or the entrance fee, as I would rather see more of the island and you could likely get a similar understanding of what this “museum” offers through Wikipedia or YouTube.

Fantastic, a must visit if you are in Skye. Both children and adults will love it, you will not be disappointed. Everything in the museum is so interesting. The views are amazing, free car park on site. There is also a gift shop and a small café. Bonus, kids free and adults only £6.

I don’t see how anyone could give less than five stars to this charming, fascinating, beautifully situated museum. The displays inside each of the crofts are excellent. The views to and from the remote museum and the grounds itself are stunning. Visit the nearby Flora McDonald memorial (in the little cemetery just beyond the museum) and you might see a Highland Cow. The gift shop is small but nice too.
