This closure is a great pity as it is in TWO parts - the row of stone roofed cottages and the agricultural museum opposite. The cottage roofs needs costly repair work however the other part is separate and could be open to the public if the NTS so desired. That part houses the agricultural historical artefacts - including the horse drawn hearse, much local historical farm implements and buildings whose contents illustrate typical farm cotters lifestyle and the history of farming over the years in the local area. Perhaps the NTS might consider opening this part over the spring summer season next year - with a little persuasion?
Sorry this is now closed indefinitely awaiting funding for major repairs to the buildings. I've been told this could take more than five years before anything can be done
The museum has been closed for a couple of years or longer due to the roof needing repairs which is sad as it was very popular as it is at the gates of glamis castle there is no sign of it opening in the near future
This National Trust for Scotland property is closed and It would appear all the contents moved as the roof requires attention but the NTS seems not to have much interest in wee properties such as this and Barries Birthplace in Kirriemuir !
This museum isn't open at all through the holiday period. There is nothing telling us of this on the National trust website or in the book. Very disappointed in the lack of communication from the National trust of Scotland as this was not the first place we tried to visit that was actually closed.
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.
