1 July - 31 Oct 2019
"Canadian Cousins" Exhibition
A captivating insight into the intrepid and pioneering Highlanders who shaped the making of Canada.
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, people from Strathspey and its surrounding area left for the New World. In North America these pioneers, empire builders and visionaries would dominate the expanding fur trade. Why did they go, and why were they so influential in the growth of the young nation of Canada? The answers reveal a hidden story of emigration, exploration and exploitation.

Talk by Simon Forder
​"The Romans in Scotland"
7pm at the museum
In AD 77, Roman forces under Agricola marched into the northern reaches of Britain to pacify the Caledonian tribesman. For seven years, the Romans marched and battled across what is now Scotland. In AD 83, they fought the final battle at Mons Graupius where 10,000 Caledonians were slaughtered with only 360 Roman dead. How much of this is true?
​All welcome.
