Clan Macpherson Museum

A must stop for any history enthusiast. A Well curated selection of the contributions and experiences of Clan Macpherson. Aila and her colleague were extremely helpful, exceptionally knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the subject. Thank you for the great experience. It was a real pleasure. Highly Recommend!

A well-presented and extensive museum covering the history of the storied McPherson clan. Many treats for those interested in clan history and lore, including on display the fabled "Am Feadan Dubh," The Black Chanter, which "is believed to possess some charm or supernatural virtue, which ensures prosperity to its owners and their connections. It is this instrument which Sir Walter Scott mentions as having fallen from the clouds during the conflict on the North Inch of Perth in 1396. It appears to have been taken from the vanquished party at that fiercely contended battle." Overall a wonderful site to visit (not just for clan/sept members), in a lovely highland village. After visiting the Museum, pop across the street to the Glen Hotel for a pint and friendly conversation, then walk a mile down main street to visit the Highland Folk Museum (to which you should dedicate at least two hours - it's an open-air museum and it will take this long just to see it all, let alone spend time on particular points of interest).
