Kilmartin Glen is one of the world’s most significant archaeological landscapes. Sites including Stone Circles, Standing Stones and Rock Art abound. There are thousands of years of history and natural history to explore in this beautiful landscape.

For 20 years, Kilmartin Museum has been discovering, caring for and sharing stories of artefacts from this special place. Visit Kilmartin Museum and Kilmartin Glen and join us on a journey through 6,000 years of history.

Staff are still working and can be contacted by email, but please be patient as the team is reduced. Our education team are working towards restarting education service visits to schools and community groups when appropriate.

Kilmartin Museum Café

We’re delighted that the café is now open some days of the week from 11am-3pm (please check our social media for which days) for takeaway with some seating outside. We have the same great cake, coffee and light lunches as before.  You’re able to buy copies of ‘In the Footsteps of Kings’, our guide to the amazing archaeology of Kilmartin Glen.  We’re working on the basis of card payments to keep our staff and customers safe.   Please keep an eye on our website and social media channels for extended opening times.

Learning at Home

Learning at home can be fun and we have a great learning project ‘Living in ancient Scotland’ which is specifically aimed at children of primary school age. Helping to build their knowledge and understanding of the ancient past, the project has lots of activities for children to complete and a story to inspire. So, make your way to the ‘Learning’ section and you will find the ‘Learning at home’ page.
