The Highlanders are the descendants of four famous Scottish Regiments originally raised from the Clans and communities of the Highlands and Islands in the late 1700's.

The Highlanders Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, (4 SCOTS),  today incorporates the world-famous names of the Seaforth Highlanders, The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders and the Queen's Own Highlanders (Seaforth and Camerons). The Museum represents all these famous Regiments except for The Gordon Highlanders who have their own museum in Aberdeen.
The museum includes items from the Lovat Scouts and Liverpool Scottish as well as our Allied Regiments from Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Gurkhas.

This key historic site, cared for by Historic Scotland, is visited by approximately 60,000 people every year and offers the visitor superb views across to the Black Isle. From the Fort Ramparts you will see a variety of birds and occasionally; Dolphins, Minky whales, Orca's and seals . The Highlanders' Museum (Queen's Own Highlanders Collection) tells the stories of the many Highlanders who served in one of the Regiments that were raised from the Region.
