We chanced upon this museum on our travels around Scotland. The gentleman who looks after the museum is a real character. Full of knowledge and pride. Cheap to enter and worth every penny. A fascinating story of this very tall Scottish man (and General Tom Thumb). Full-size model and the story about him. Ideal for all ages.
4. Dunvegan Two Churches Walk
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 52 reviews
Reviewed By TigsLancashire - Burscough, United Kingdom
We took on this walk on a fairly fine day, it may me a bit more challenging if the weather isn’t great. The walk takes you through a spectacular forest, where you will see lots of fairy doors and fairies a amongst the trees, placed there I think by local school children. The walk takes you along and up a forest trail before opening up to amazing views and the Duirinish Stone, it stands 5 metres high and weighs in at 5 tonnes, and was placed there in 2000 by local residents using nothing more than ‘ropes, Pully’s and manpower’. High,y recommended walk for all
