Testimonials

  • “The whole experience, from start to finish, was brilliant and excellent value for money. It took around two hours to complete, with just the right number of visitors in each room to fully enjoy the exhibits. The displays and narrative were thoughtfully designed and expertly presented. The panoramic views from the tower were fantastic, and the Rose stained glass window was truly magical.”

Every aspect of the experience is engaging and fascinating, making it difficult to leave. I was especially impressed by the exceptionally friendly and welcoming staff.”

  • “This was one of my favourite parts of my recent trip. I loved the immersive experience, particularly the beautiful second film, where the narrator spoke about the importance of stories and how we can all share our own stories of the Highlands. The café was also lovely, and the food was excellent. While the Runrig display was interesting, I found the tapestry exhibition even more captivating and absolutely beautiful.”
