Nestled under the care of the National Trust for Scotland, this interactive museum offers a captivating journey into the life of one of Scotland’s most influential 19th-century figures. Hugh Miller, a man of many talents, was not just a fossil hunter but also a folklorist, Christian, stonemason, geologist, newspaper editor, and social justice advocate. His immense legacy continues to inspire and educate through his extensive body of work.

As you wander through the museum, you'll find yourself transported back in time, exploring the various chapters of Miller's life. The exhibits are not only informative but also engaging, making history come alive through rich storytelling and interactive displays. You can almost imagine him, hammer in hand, chipping away at stones, uncovering secrets from the past.

Don’t miss the chance to explore the quaint village of Cromarty where the museum is located. This picturesque spot is known for its stunning coastal views and charming architecture, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty and historical intrigue. Whether you're a history buff or just curious, this museum promises to be both educational and entertaining.
