Historical & Heritage Sites
Learn about the people of Gairloch, their lives and their work throughout the ages. Take some time out in the croft house, browse the items at the village shop and compare your childhoods in the school room.
This fascinating museum lives in a beautifully restored Thomas Telford Parliamentary Church which was built originally in 1829. Skillfully navigating the visitor through the history of Lock Broom, the museum also tells of its people, their lives and their experiences. The wonderful multimedia displays provide real insight into the local area.
Established in 1965, the museum is a collection of preserved thatched cottages. See the way the islanders lived in the late 1800s and their efficient, but cosy dwellings. Molding perfectly with the environment and suitably attuned to the often harsh climate they are a fascinating place to visit.
