Situated at the heart of this internationally important landscape on the west coast of Scotland, Kilmartin Museum cares for ancient artefacts from across Argyll.

The Museum was founded in 1997 by Rachel Butter and David Clough. Since then, we have been interpreting, explaining and conserving the archaeological and natural heritage of Kilmartin Glen.

In 2019, just over half of the 22,000 artefacts in our care were awarded "Nationally Significant" status by Museums Galleries Scotland and an independent panel of experts.

The new Museum will give visitors the opportunity to see our fascinating ancient artefacts properly conserved and displayed, close to the sites where they were discovered.

This place is run by Kilmartin Museum
