One of the highlights of the museum is the working farm, where you can see a range of animals, including Highland cattle, sheep, and pigs. You can also see a range of traditional farming equipment, including plows, harrows, and threshing machines. The farm is a great place to learn about the agricultural practices of the past and to see how they have evolved over time.
Another fascinating aspect of the museum is the collection of historic vehicles, including horse-drawn carts, carriages, and even a steam-powered tractor. These vehicles give visitors a sense of how transportation has changed over time and how it has impacted life in the Highlands.
