Set within traditional 18th century thatched cottages, Glencoe Folk Museum holds an eclectic array of objects celebrating local heritage and providing an insight into the history of the area and its people. 

The museum was co-founded by Miss Barbara Fairweather MBE, Mrs Rae Grant and friends in the 1960s, and for these ladies it was a life's work. The collections quickly outgrew the original museum building, and in 1971 the museum was gifted its current home by the late Hugh Grant. The new museum opened its doors in 1972, and the collection - which includes Jacobite memorabilia, archaeology, toys, photographs, domestic items and costume - has continued to grow.
​​
The aim of the museum is to collect, preserve and exhibit articles and objects relevant to the history of the Glencoe and North Lorn district for the purposes of education and interest.
