Highland Folk Museum

Most of the site is wheelchair (if you are strong) and mobility scooter friendly although the site is on a slope. Some of the properties aren't accessible without using a few steps. The toilet is easily accessible, spacious but the red cord was tied up tp a hand rail!

There was a lot of space for wheelchair access. It was really fun as there was no reading. It was just all old buildings which you could visit including a post office , sweetie shop and farm sheds where you could learn about rationing.

The Strathspey Visually Impaired Group had an outing to see the huge collection of Scottish artefacts, in the Am Fasgadh museum, at the Highland Folk Park, in Newtonmore. We were given an excellent guided tour, tailored to the needs of group members, encouraged to be hands on to gain insight into fabrics, woodwork, etc.. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and obviously enjoyed their position, talking enthusiastically about all the items on display. We got to see and touch various pieces of furniture, weaving machines, sports equipment, household equipment, vehicles, fabrics, and more. Afterwards, the group enjoyed a delicious afternoon cup of tea and cake. There is a lift for people with mobility issues, or unable to access stairs. There is ample room to negotiate the aisles between exhibits and a huge collection to view. Highly recommend.
