Dingwall Museum

Dingwall Museum presents many local artefacts and fascinating tales of human exploits which are unique to Dingwall within a landmark building, once the centre of local government. Over the years members have designed displays to create pictures of the past for visitors to study and enjoy.

Military Room is a showcase for Highland Heroes and a touch screen presents an interactive account of local POW veterans after their capture at St. Valery (France). The Local Smiddy is a reconstruction of the old Mill Street smiddy using all the tools of the trade donated by family members.

By-gone days in the kitchen are shown with a collection of household artefacts. The Old Council Chamber was built in 1905. The newly refurbished Chamber recalls the by-gone era of the Royal Burgh Council. The display includes the Provost’s Chain of Office dating from 1874, robes and other artefacts reflecting the former glory of the Council.

There is always something happening at the Museum.  Throughout the season it provides facilities for encouraging enthusiasts to display their hobbies and interests.

 

Entry to the Museum is Free.
