Summer in the Highlands means endless exploring, and we know just the spot to head to next...

The Highland Folk Museum brings Scottish history to life in a way that regular museums just can't match. You can wander through a real 1700s township, explore an old schoolhouse, and see traditional heritage crafts in action. It's so authentic, in fact, that the producers of Outlander chose it as a key filming location for the show's first season.

It’s easily one of our favourite recommendations for guests looking for a memorable, local day out.

Make the most of your getaway by basing yourself with us at The Boat. We're ideally located for exploring the local area by day and unwinding by the bar at night.
