We are working in partnership with the Open Visual Worlds team at St Andrews University to create an online gallery showcasing the top 100 objects in our collection.
Join us for a grand tour through the West Highland Museum’s top 100 objects, as they are used to tell the story of the West Highlands’ landscape, people, and history.
The West Highland Museum’s collections tell the story of the region and its history. Join us in a journey through the West Highland Museum’s top 100 artefacts from these collections.
Our most renowned and unusual collection relates to Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobite cause. But we also hold a wealth of curious and fascinating collections relating to less well-known aspects of the lives of the people of the West Highlands, from the effects of political warfare, to the economic impact of tourism in the region, and the coming of the industrial and modern ages. Join us as we bring the museum to you, with 100 diverse artefacts chosen to tell these stories.
