Highlanders' Museum **
Region: Inverness, Loch Ness & Nairn
Description:
The Highlanders’ Museum boasts the largest collection of military artefacts outside London. The Highlanders trace their roots to four renowned Scottish Regiments, originally formed from the clans and communities of the Highlands and Islands in the late 1700s. Today, the Highlanders Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland carries on the proud legacy of the Seaforth Highlanders, The Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders, and the Queen’s Own Highlanders (Seaforth and Camerons). The museum showcases all these storied regiments, with the exception of The Gordon Highlanders, who have their own museum in Aberdeen. The Museum tells the story of the Highland Regiments from just after the Battle of Culloden up to the present day.
