The Newtonmore Museum
T he Highland Folk, Newtonmore is a one mile long, eighty acre (32 Hectare) living history site.   The site was bought in the 1980s but did not open until 1995 since when it has been proactively developed and enhanced.

Within sight of the Cairngorm Mountains this interesting and varied landscape site combines farmland, woodland and open areas.   These areas are interpreted through re-located and re-created buildings and features, working demonstrations and live interpreters.
