Groam House Museum
Recommended by
Overview
Opened in 1980, the Groam House Museum is renowned for its display of Pictish carved stones which were part of the vibrant early Christian monastic settlement in Rosemarkie, around 1,200 years ago. In addition, the museum holds the surviving works of George Bain (1881-1968), which form a Nationally Significant Recognised Collection. Bain was fascinated by the intricate interlace and key patterns on the Pictish stones and worked tirelessly to enthuse others to learn and develop their own designs. The museum also exhibits items relating to the local history of Avoch, Fortrose and Rosemarkie, and has a well-stocked shop and book store. Admission by Donation.

About the area
Apart from the Orkneys and the Shetlands, Highland is Scotland’s northernmost county. Probably its most famous feature is the mysterious and evocative Loch Ness, allegedly home to an ancient monster that has embedded itself in the world’s modern mythology, and the region’s tourist industry.
