What visitors say

HistoryNeedsYou

A brilliant gem of a little museum, packed with fantastic history and heritage. Built as an ice-house and salmon processing business, the Salmon Bothy is a great time capsule. There are displays on the local fishing industry, nature and geology. Level access with free car parking outside. Great little shop too

Went to a performance by Findlay Napier, The venue was perfect for a small gathering of people for the show. Highly recommend the venue and the artist!
