"Before the well-known royal families of Scotland came to power, there was the ancient Kingdom of Dalriada, about which little is understood. Judging from the archaeology found on Kilmartin Glen, however, it was probably a remarkable, 6th- to 7th-century civilization of Gaelic-speaking Celtic people. Today, visitors to this impressive landscape on Scotland’s west coast can explore 6,000 years of history through stone circles, standing stones, rock art, and burial chambers, then head into the Kilmartin Museum, which displays artifacts like urns, swords, food vessels, and more."

Since the museum looked rather small, I was pondering if the 16.70£ (Adult) would be worth it. But it absolutely was! This is an excellent Museum. There are a lot of hands on things for old and young and I think it’s a perfect example how to exhibit archaeological finds. 👌 There is a cute little Bistro at the site that served cake and snacks.

This is an outstanding first class museum, including interactive exhibits. A must-go if you are at all interested in the cultural and/ or geological history of the area. Kilmartin was a mecca for ancient peoples. Around the side of the building is a trail going directly to Neolithic monuments.

Very informative, covers the history of the area extensively, including into the bronze age Fun activities for kids, the exhibits are interesting, well laid out, and the staff are lovely. The cafe was shut unfortunately The art exhibit at the end was a bit modern for my taste but that's an optional extra. There is parking onsite

We had a great visit - John & I had visited a few times before and enjoyed our visits. However, the new museum was wonderful, the layout and information were excellent. We loved the video of the area with the wildlife - great photography

The small museum is modernised and gives a comprehensive impression of the ancient history of the Glen and beyond. Wonderful audiovisual presentation of a sacred ritual.

A wonderful museum if a bit pricey. The walk to the monuments is stunning and flat all the way.

Carefully thought out, narrated and ethically displayed archaeology. Lovely cafe with good food and view of cairns.

It might have been a very interesting museum, but at £17 per person, it is a bit steep - so we didn’t bother. Church next door (which reportedly contains some interesting stones) was locked and inaccessible. All in all, a bit disappointing.
