Atholl Country Life Museum

Atholl Country Life Museum

Here in the Atholl Country Life Museum, once the village school, you are able to capture that life of the past and learn about the great characters of the area, their skills and achievements, not only in the community but far beyond.

Within the museum we have the only stuffed Highland Cow in Scotland, a home-made device by a local roadman that was used to paint the first white lines on the road near the Queens View and the immaculately reconstructed Trinafour Post Office which looks and feels exactly as it would have done in the 1930s, with typical stock on display behind the counter and the authentic village phone next to the door!

You can also view and listen to the fascinating and often amusing insights of locals via our Voices of Atholl film which comprises short clips capturing the memories of local elderly residents, which is an inspiring glimpse of days gone by
