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.
