> Skye Museum of Island Life

The Skye Museum of Island lifestyle at Kilmuir, Isle of Skye was opened in 1965. The goal was to protect a township of thatched cottages, each one of these depicting, as closely as you possibly can, the conditions prevailing on the area during the close of this nineteenth century.The very first cottage become exposed to your public, in 1965 ended up being the dwelling house which goes to the century that is mid-ninetenth. This cottage is a example that is good of typical Skye house of the period, when homes on the area with very few exceptions, had been of this standard and type. The old Highland house was fundamental and crude but still, it was sufficient in its very own time and gave shelter and warmth to women and men who spent a majority of their time out side and cared little about worldly possessions or domestic luxury by present-day criteria.
