We loved our tour and were struck by the strength and heroism of these highlanders. It was an honor to visit and the staff are genuinely friendly and warm. We felt like honored guests.

Beautiful · via Google [Don Wood](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105699146624513310092/reviews) ★★★★★ Very well organized museum with a lot of memorabilia from the Gordon Highlanders. Tour guide was a young man who was able to relate the exhibits nicely. Staff were warm and friendly. Excellent stop if you are interested in military history from Napoleon through to today. A bit out of the way but reachable via the #11 bus from Union Street. Just beware that the buses don't run on time. · via Google [Paul Gallon](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101122854850618073378/reviews) ★★★★★ Myself and my partners family visited the museum and thoroughly enjoyed discovering the history of this famous highland regiment.

All staff were very helpful and pleasant with except for the Admissions lady. We arrived at the museum with 6 mns to spare before last entries at 3pm. She stressed repeatedly that we were only just in time and then proceeded to overcharge us by £23. She was also very rude to John Booth who was waiting to give us the trench tour. He was very controlled and didn’t react to her abject rudeness. The · via Google [Fiona Cousland](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101656685199045239856/reviews) ★★★★★ Exceptional Museum.
