Where to start.... This museum was absolutely brilliant. I did not have high hopes for it as my experience of similar museums has been a let down. I could not have been any more wrong that that. We went here because my daughter is learning world war one and I thought it would be good for her learning. Our tour guide whom I cannot remember the name of (sorry I am not good with names) was brilliant. A wealth of knowledge and shared some wonderful stories with us on our visit. I have a 6 year old and a 9 year old (girls) who you would think they would get bored. They were not bored at all. My favourite section would be the armoury. Seeing some of the old guns brought back fond memories of my days as an army cadet. Our tour guide and I shared our thoughts on the old Bren Gun and the SA 80 rifle. Out doors you will find a trench that they have made to give you an idea of what it was like in trench warfare. A real hidden gem. I really cannot recommend it enough. Covid restricted your freedom to walk round the exhibits and you were on a time slot but it did not impact how I felt about this place. Absolutely brilliant and I will go back once Covid over just so I can spend more time looking around and reading things. Amazing place!!!! Last note... Ask your guide about the Japanese flag you will see when you go round it.…

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your family visit with us and we do try and make our tour appealing to all ages. Recently we have had a number of families in during the school holidays and it is heart warming to hear enthusiastic children with an interest in history. Hopefully we will see you again next year to visit some new exhibitions again for all ages. Thanks and stay safe.

Thank you for such high praise. I know The Gordon Highlanders Museum holds a special place in so many hearts. We are all glad to welcome back visitors this month after being closed for such a long period. Our Museum and Gardens are looking great and we are all proud to be of assistance. Look forward to seeing you again next year when we will have more exhibitions and exhibits to showcase further parts to The Gordon Highlanders History.

The museum did not leave me disappointed! My Granda who fought in the war had donated a few items to the museum a few years back and with never being before myself to see any of the "treasure" and his recent passing, we thought this would be the ideal reason to go! There was very friendly staff and so much to see! All the different rooms and information of each item was incredible. It was very very informative and was great to see so much items still kept in such good quality for us to see so many years later! The silver room was amazing - i'm a bit of magpie and loved looking at it all! There's even a trench made outside for you to go out and get a "close" feel to what it used to be like and shows the living conditions. As it was man made its not completely the same but gives you the same idea. I will definitely go back!…

An all-round fantastic museum. The best regimental museum in Britain by a country mile with the Highlanders Museum coming in with a close second.
