Highland Museum of Childhood sign
Located in a restored Victorian Station, built in 1885 in the Spa village of Strathpeffer, the Museum tells the story of childhood in the Highlands amongst hardworking crofters and townsfolk, where money and luxuries were scarce, and life followed the rhythm of the seasons; a way of life recorded by oral testimony, displays, and evocative photographs. Our own award-winning video "A Century of Highland Childhood" is also shown. Explore the life of children, crofters and townsfolk and their customs and traditions. Facilities on site are toilets, a garden and picnic area, plus ample parking with disabled parking bays and wheelchair access onto the platform.

Strathpeffer Culzie and Wyvis Lodges

Presumably these lodges were on estates adjacent to "The Heights" and so were included in Exhibition photographs.
