Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Regimental Museum

A very interesting museum that is full of artifacts relating to the Argyll and Sutherland's Regiment. The building is not accessible to people who use a wheelchair. There are steps to access the building, and it has steps between the floors. To access the museum you need a Stirling Castle ticket. It is best to buy these in advance. There is a one-way system around the museum. It has a souvernir shop which had some nice items at a reasonable price.

A true gem inside Stirling Castle! Not only is it well organized and preserved as a museum, it also presents a fine military spectacle through its numerous authentic artifacts, flags, weapons, uniforms, marvelous paintings and provides a clear and concise history of the proud Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. An absolute must for any military history enthusiast visiting Scotland and a great source of inspiration for military personnel, motivated by heroism and quest for glory. Congratulations to all the museum's team members and special thanks to the CEO for the interesting conversation and his kind behavior! Second Visit (17th February 2026) impressions: After having been impressed by the top quality A&SH museum, I decided to explore the Scottish military tradition more thoroughly and visit Scotland again. This time I had the honour and pleasure to be invited for a personal guided tour of the A&SH museum, provided by none other than the CEO, himself! Major Alan Carmichael (Retd) narrated masterfully the proud history of the Regiment and explained details, making the experience all the more fascinating. The Museum staff does a splendid job maintaining all the authentic artifacts in the best condition. As a career Officer and military history enthusiast, I highly recommend the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Museum, easily the top attraction inside the Stirling Castle, the spiritual home of the Regiment!

We visited in July 2024. A great museum housed in the grounds of Stirling Castle. I recently discovered that my grandfather was in this regiment. I am so happy we got to see the exhibits. Please do go in if you are at the Castle 🏰

Islay Carmichael gave us a fabulous personal tour of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders Museum within Stirling Castle. Andy Hay was able to add more detail to relevant family military history. A huge big thank you to them & staff at the museum for a wonderful visit. We so appreciate your time, your care & your passion. Mary Sandeman

This museum is included as part of the visitor experience at Stirling Castle. It is a fascinating museum and there are some guides to answer questions. I was delighted to meet a war veteran he was a gentleman. I liked the lay out and it was all so well ordered you will need at least a good hour to appreciate the history of the regiment. It was busy but not too crowded I was so glad I was early as I had time to enjoy and did not feel rushed along by the crowds.

Great visit. You get to weave your way through the history of the regiment

The Museum traces over 200 years of one of Scotland’s elite military regiments - The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. The Museum traces the history of the 91st Argyllshire Highlanders and the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders up to the time of their amalgamation in 1881 when they became the 1st and 2nd Battalions of The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Regiment and thereafter to the present day. The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders was expanded to fifteen battalions during the First World War (1914–1918) and nine during the Second World War (1939–1945). The 1st Battalion served in the 1st Commonwealth Division in the Korean War and gained a high public profile for its role in Aden during 1967.
