Atholl Country Life Museum

Explore / United Kingdom / Perth And Kinross

The Atholl Country Life Museum is a small country museum capturing the history of the local area, located in the village of Blair Atholl near Pitlochry in Perth and Kinross.

The museum is housed in what was once the village school. Here visitors can learn about great local characters from the past, such as Sgt. Major Donald MacBeath who was a hero of the Crimean War. Also on show are several quirky memorabilia including Scotland’s only stuffed Highland cow and a reconstruction of Trinafour Post Office.

The museum is open at weekends from Easter to September, and also during the week in July and August.
