Welcome to Kilmartin Museum, of one of the key attractions in Argyll and Bute on Scotland’s west coast. We are an independent Scottish Charity and a working museum, passionate about educating and inspiring people of all ages though our collections, education programmes, and activities.

Kilmartin Glen is one of Scotland’s richest prehistoric landscapes with over 800 monuments within 6 miles of the museum! We are the custodian of the artefacts that come from Kilmartin Glen and beyond, and our prehistoric collection has Nationally Significant status. We offer visitors of all ages a fascinating insight into the lives of our ancestors inhabiting the area across 12,000 years.

Why not make a day of it? Throughout the season we run free family and low cost events that compliment your Museum visit - check our visit us section of the website for the latest details. Come in and explore our galleries, browse our selection of locally sourced gifts, books and toys in our museum shop and then step outside to visit the landscape where the artefacts were used and found. Walk through the prehistoric wonders of the Glen or book a guided walk as part of your visit to Kilmartin. Options for lunch include a covered picnic area outside, an onsite café and the Kilmartin Hotel opposite.
