Argyll Museums

Kilmartin House Museum
Over 5,000 years of human history are traced across the Kilmartin Valley. At least 150 prehistoric sites lie within 6 miles of the quiet village of Kilmartin.

There are enigmatic carved rocks, mysterious standing stones, impressive burial cairns and the fortress of the earliest Scottish Kings. But who were the early hunters, farmers and warriors and why did they leave behind such rich remains? Kilmartin House helps to answer these questions, and more.

Auchindrain Township
Auchindrain is an original West Highland township, or village, of great antiquity and the only communal tenancy township in Scotland to have survived on its centuries old site much in its original form.

The township buildings which have been restored and preserved are furnished and equipped in the style of various periods to give the visitor a fascinating experience of what life was really like for the Highlander in past centuries. The township started its life many centuries ago in a beautiful Highland Glen. 

Inveraray Jail
From the mid 18th century the courts met in the Town House on Front Street, and the ground floor below the 
courtroom served as the county prison.

Your introduction to Scotland's living 19th century prison, appear in court, explore the prisons and airing yards, experience the Torture, Death and Damnation exhibition and visit the prison shop.
