I visited Strathnaver Museum a couple of weeks ago while doing the NC500. Well worth the stop - fascinating history that you don’t necessarily learn about when you’re from England

Fascinating museum with lots of information about the clearances which coming from south of the border I've heard nothing about, and (un)suprisingly they make no mention of at Dunrobin castle. (Rich people have apparently always been horrible towards the poor.) Well worth a visit.

Both the Museum and the Annex are very interesting. A part of history I was not aware of.

Glad we stopped here as even being a small place but great for history... From ancient times of the Picts almost into our times you can get a glimpse of the North Scottish history and clan Mackay... Definitely worth a stop if you're visiting the area or if you're on NC500 road trip...

Leuk klein museum met veel history over de Clearance in dit gebied en de tijdlijn van de Mackays met de begraafplaats ernaast waar de generaties met nageslacht begraven liggen.

Really interesting and shocking in equal measure at how brutal the clearances were. Very helpful staff and a good wee cafe next door

What a great museum for the children, and adults. Full of information about how Scotland changed to years ago and great interactive displays for the children. £5 per adult and U18's go free, worth every penny. Highly recommend a visit if staying nearby or passing through.

Loved this little museum. Friendly staff. Really interesting. Beware of the access road, enormous potholes! Seriously, they could damage a vehicle.

This is a terrific museum: really thoughtfully curated with excellent and informative signage. We were happy to find it open in early November, and were told that they decided to try keeping it open year round and see how many visitors they get. I hope they'll have many. I was very glad to have the opportunity to learn more about the history of the area.

Lovely little place located just outside Bettyhill within a former kirk. Plenty of material relating to the clearances and the impact they had on the greater area. Plenty of exhibits showing how life was once lived and information on people of note from this area.
