The Arran Heritage Museum is closed now for the winter and will re-open on Wednesday, 13th March 2024.

Welcome to the Arran Heritage Museum! We offer a great day out for the family on Arran.

he Isle of Arran Heritage Museum, founded in 1976 (open to the public in 1979) is on the main road, at Rosaburn, just north of Brodick, on the beautiful island of Arran, Scotland. Originally the site of a small school, the present group of buildings were a croft and smiddy, and include a farmhouse, cottage, bothy, milk house, laundry, stable, coach house and harness room. The exhibits reflect the social history, archaeology and geology of the island. The museum is run by 34 volunteers, who generously give their time to make your visit as enjoyable and interesting as possible.

Treat yourself to an audiotour (English only at the moment) for £3 plus £1 for earphones (to keep).

Adults can pursue an interest in the past or simply indulge in their nostalgia.
Children visiting the HERITAGE MUSEUM can enjoy the many “hands on” exhibits and school parties are welcomed.
Families enjoy the beautiful museum gardens and a picnic at the Rosaburn while watching the ducks.
Café Rosaburn offers a selection of light meals and snacks, or you may picnic in our riverside gardens.
Gift Shop – we have well stocked shop, where you can buy Arran books, gifts, sweets and ice cream.

The Museum is enjoyed by young and old alike, so come along and see us soon.
