Hugh Miller's Cottage

I have wanted to visit this museum/cottage for ages. I paid £5.50 for entrance and that is a bargain for what you get to see. Hugh Miller was born in the thatched cottage on 10th October 1802 and died in Edinburgh on the 24th December 1856. There is loads to read and learn about. My suggestion is to take your time and try and absorb the time this man was living.Hugh Miller was a geologist, naturalist and was one of the founders of the Free Church of Scotland at the disruption in 1843.There is a Hugh Miller trail in Cromarty and there is a statue which is good walking distance.All in all an excellent place to visit.

Wonderful museum! Hugh Miller is definitely under-recognised and under- appreciated and this museum brilliant gives an insight into his life and thinking. Beautifully curated with helpful, knowledgeable staff, one of the best museums I’ve been to for a very long time. Thank you :)

Beautiful place to visit highly recommend. Beautiful village to walk around.

Really interesting small museum. Collection of stones and fossils. Millers cottage is next door - totally as it was back in 1800s! Lovely small garden too....take time to look!

Really interesting cottage, lovely to see how it would have been. Low ceilings, hanging lum fireplace, thatched roof. Entry is free fire National Trust members from England if you show your membership card.

A very informative and interesting museum all about the famous writer and geologist Hugh Miller. The ladies at the reception desk to the left as you walk in were incredible helpful, friendly and informative. The museum is deceptively big, with 3 levels and the Cottage which Hugh Miller lived in right next to it. The courthouse next to it (which is free) was also incredibly interesting, and hosts a rather comical court case in the old courthouse for visitors to enjoy. I especially enjoyed the garden in the Hugh Miller museum which features his famous ammonite statue. Really worth the visit and spent a good hour and a half here. A necessity if you're visiting Cromarty!

Much bigger that you would think. Very interesting and interactive. Lovely staff who are well informed.

Very interesting museum about the fascinating life of Hugh Miller. Lots to see. Lovely garden too. If you holiday in the NTS owned Paye House next door (which I can't recommend highly enough), then you get free entry to the museum. We also took a walk to Eathie Beach after visiting the museum to see the fossils and saw pine martens on our way there!

This was a fantastic place to visit and the guides were very friendly and informative. We enjoyed both buildings but the little cottage that Hugh Miller was born in was very atmospheric.

The father of Geology. Museum and his cottage home. Very interesting and helpful staff.
