Our Future

The West Highland Museum has cared for Highland heritage for over 100 years, sharing iconic stories from Jacobite history to the WWII Commandos

We are launching a transformative £6.2 million redevelopment to secure the future of our unique collection and create a fully accessible, modern museum

The project will deliver expanded galleries, improved visitor flow, and new community/learning spaces that deepen engagement for all ages

This redevelopment is about more than preservation — it will create a vibrant cultural hub where history, creativity, and community thrive together

Expanded Galleries & Exhibitions

Larger gallery spaces will allow us to showcase more
of our remarkable collections and host world‑class
exhibitions that bring Highland history to life

Improved Accessibility

New ramps, lifts, and circulation routes will ensure
that everyone — regardless of mobility — can enjoy
the museum fully and comfortably

Education & Community Spaces

Dedicated rooms for workshops, school visits, and
community events will create new opportunities for
learning, creativity, and intergenerational
connection

Preserving Our Heritage

Upgraded environmental controls will safeguard our
collections from the growing impacts of climate
change
A new green space – the hillside behind the museum
will be transformed into a peaceful public garden — a
new community asset in the heart of our town
