Highland Folk Museum

The Highland Folk Museum, recognized as Britain’s first mainland open-air museum opened at Kingussie, Scotland in 1944. Named Am Fasgadh (The Shelter) this became the third home for founder Dr. Isabel F. Grant’s core collection of Highland material culture, and as a living history museum with buildings such as the Lewis Blackhouse became the inspiration for the larger Newtonmore site.
