The West Highland Museum gift and book shop offers a range of quality products from across the Highlands. We have a wide selection of books focused on Scottish history, with a particular emphasis on the stories we tell in our galleries. Books such as Romantic Lochaber and Bygone Lochaber can be purchased exclusively from the museum.

Our gift shop includes quality products such as Jacobite glass, jewellery, craft kits, toys, and artwork, some of which are exclusive to the museum and have been created for us by local artists and artisans.
