About
A group of preserved thatched cottages at Kilmuir presenting domestic life, crofting, tools, clothing and community history from north Skye. Visitors move between small museum buildings and outdoor spaces, so it works in mixed weather but is not entirely indoors. The museum operates a defined spring-to-autumn season and is a useful cultural counterpoint to the nearby viewpoints. Check current days and last admission before making the long drive around northern Trotternish.
