Quick heads up that our cafe Gasta is closed tomorrow due to a one-off private event. We're sorry for any inconvenience. Re-opens as usual on Saturday.

We're looking forward to the exhibition 'Wild & Majestic: Romantic Visions of Scotland' at National Museums Scotland - opening 26 June. We've lent some objects to the exhibition which belonged to Alastair Ranaldson MacDonell, 15th Chief of Glengarry. In our museum you can see this wonderful portrait of him, painted by Angelica Kauffmann. Our neighbours Sabhal Mòr Ostaig have also been very involved in the exhibition, which is on until 10 November.
