Welcome to Kilmartin House Museum
There are more than 350 ancient monuments within a six-mile radius of the village of Kilmartin, Argyll: 150 of them are prehistoric. This extraordinary concentration and diversity of monuments distinguishes the Kilmartin Glen as an area of outstanding archaeological importance. It is one of Scotland’s richest prehistoric landscapes. Kilmartin House Museum is an award winning world-class centre for archaeology and landscape interpretation established to protect, investigage and interpret this internationally important archaeological landscape and the artefacts that have been found here. At this unique and vibrant centre you can also see ‘The Valley of Ghosts’ audio-visual – a time travelling experience with breath taking imagery and haunting music. There is an on site shop and an award winning cafe. To find out more, explore our web site, wander through our interactive map and see what's on our Events Programme.

To celebrate Kilmichael and Kilmartin's contribution to Scottish history, the Museum will be hosting a number of events in 2009.
There will be an exhibition of objects relating to the Christian faith, and we are hoping to borrow the Torbhlaren Bell Shrine from the National Museums of Scotland. This is a locally found object which has never been displayed at the Museum before.
There will also be schools days, open days, storytelling and much more. If you would like more information see our Homecoming page.
