The Kingussie Museum

The Kingussie site was bought by the Museum’s founder, Dr. Isabel Grant, in 1943 and opened to the public in June 1944. Dr. Grant called the Museum ‘Am Fasgadh’, Gaelic for ‘The Shelter’, as she considered the place a haven for her wonderful collection of Highland artifacts and relics.

Although this Museum is not open to the public on a daily basis researchers can access any of the accessioned collection, archive and/or library by prior appointment.
