Worth a visit while in Glamis, convenient to access since it is very close to the castle.
Mother lives in Glamis so we visit quite often - great.
go back in time to see how things were done , simply but efficiently
A good and well cared for small museum. A lot of personal pride is taken in how this place looks.
Because of the family connection, I've visited the Folk Museum many times over the years. The cottages are beautifully and lovingly preserved, presenting a way of life far simpler than ours, and with many more hardships. No electricity, no central heating, no running water. Life was tough but everyone looked out for everyone else. I spent my childhood in the village, and have so many fond memories of that time.
Most people visit the village of Glamis to visit the castle. The Angus Folk museum shows how "ordinary" people lived as well as the lord and lady of the manor... Extremely worthwhile. Glamis village with its thatched roofs and ancient Celtic standing stone is also well worthwhile.
