We're enjoying these photos from Sleat Local History Society Comunn Eachdraidh Shlèite - check their Facebook page for more. The society runs some great events too - something to look forward to when we're out of lockdown.

While our museum is closed we’d like to share some of our collection with you virtually. So ... welcome to our new #objectoftheweek feature. In times of crisis we all need a good cup of tea, so this seems a good place to start. This teapot features in our crofting gallery, where we have a wonderful collection of objects commonly found in Skye croft houses in the early 20th century as well as crofting tools and implements. They were collected in the 1930s by Colonel Jock Macdonald and his sister, Joanna Macdonald, and are on loan from Hugh Macdonald. Museums and Heritage Highland

Sending warm Highland wishes around the world this #TartanDay. The annual celebration of Scottish heritage was initiated in Canada, so we thought we would mark it with a photo of Canadian-born Glenn Brown who won last year's Donald Macdonald Cuach piping competition. Here he is being presented with the cup by Lord Macdonald. Also the full line-up of finalists so you can properly see the tartan on display!
