Gairloch Heritage Museum is an award winning, independent museum in the Wester Ross region of Scotland. The museum is located in the Highland town of Gairloch, in Achtercairn.
The museum was set up in 1977 to house appropriately the first Pictish Stone found on the west coast mainland and other artefacts from across the Gairloch parish amassed by local enthusiasts. The museum is the public face of the Gairloch & District Heritage Company and received national accreditation in 2011. "Gairloch Heritage Museum" also houses an archive and library of significant local interest and used by amateur and professional historians. The museum is an important visitor attraction in the summer season. The Company is firmly embedded in the community and runs outreach events for all sectors of the community throughout the year.
In spring 2015 Gairloch Heritage Museum was successful in winning Stage 1 Lottery Funding to turn a former cold war bunker in Gairloch into a new museum, heritage and education centre for the village. The museum is currently fundraising towards this. It is proposed to move to the new premises in 2018. Further information on this redevelopment project can be found at on the museum's website.
