Strathnaver Museum

In light of the global threat posed by COVID-19 we have taken the decision to postpone opening Strathnaver Museum and removed our online shop to protect our staff, visitors and the wider community. We rely on earning a modest income during the season to help with our running costs which aren’t covered by grant funding, such as electricity, insurance, telephone and broadband. Any reduction in our income generation capability could have a devastating impact on our ability to cover these essential costs but you can help! If you intend to visit us or use our online shop in the future why not buy an Admission or Gift Voucher now to use in the future, these won’t be time limited and you can even use them when we open your new and improved museum!Purchase an admission voucher for £3 to be used at any date in the future…you could even come and visit us using it once we have completed our refurbishment! All you need to do is click the button below and select how many admissions you would like your voucher to cover.We hope to be able to welcome you to Strathnaver Museum soon!£5 Gift Voucher
