Photo taking is restricted which is a shame because it is very useful to have photos as well as a diary of places you visit. I find that if I visit a lot of places in one long trip I need photos to remind me of the unusual points. This one had quite an extensive display in a few buildings. The rooms were set out as though people were actually living, and working, there. Besides all the things you would have in an average house of the time, including a weaving loom, there was also some farm implements.

Folk museum is just feet away from glamis castle. From the entrance at the main driveway it is just round the corner and from the other exit of glamis you walk by it so there is no reason not to take a look. Basically its a museum about life in bygone days. The museum is 6 white cottages all joined together and across from it is an exhibition of machinery used in rural times. There is an entrance fee (can't recall exactly, think it was between £5-£6 but may be wrong). It is a small museum but it is also very interesting and they have tried to pack a lot into the space. It won't take a huge amount of time to view, an hour (maybe less) but its worth a look. Take a look at the castle then pop into the folk museum (closes 4 30pm) (If doing castle and museum might need to go to museum first then castle (castle closes 6pm but it takes a while to view it and the grounds, but that then a 20 - 25 minute walk up the driveway to the castle entrance doing it that way) If taking public bus check timetable carefully, buses to glamis and back fairly long inbetween, don't run that regularly.
