Delighted to report that the Highlanders' Museum at Fort George has re opened  to the public yesterday after a £2.9 redevelopment project. It was officially opened last Tuesday by Prince Philip. I was fortunate to have received an invitation to attend through Historic Scotland who are responsible for the site, but in the end could not attend due to other commitments which was very disappointing.
The Highlander's Museum covers three floors of Fort George’s former Lieutenant Governors’ House. It has roughly 20,000 artifacts and an estimated 10,000 documents and photographs and is the largest regimental museum in Scotland, outside of Edinburgh.
Amongst the museum collections is  a very large display of gallantry awards (including 22 Victoria Crosses)  and campaign medals won by the fighting men of the Regiment. It also contains a set of Colours carried at the Battle of Waterloo, King Edward VIII’s regimental uniform as well as silver and personal artefacts carried by members of the Regiment since 1778. On the ‘darker’ side, the Museum holds a box used by Adolf Hitler for his personal papers.
So,.. well worth a visit if you are in the area along with Culloden and Cawdor castle.
