We spent 2h walking around, reading all of the stories. The guides were very good, informative and friendly. It's an interesting place to visit for both adults and children. There was a wee boy running around having a great time with the actors/guides who were dressed up as prisoners and guards. Definitely recommend.

Great place for a visit. Very informative and the wax figures were so lifelike I actually thought it was real people sitting in the courthouse! Staff were lovely and keen to talk about different aspects of it. We went out of season so there was only a couple of staff dressed up but was still a very enjoyable afternoon. Can be cold so I suggest wrapping up warm.

Had just a wonderful time! A lovely little town too! We managed to park very close and had a great audio guide which was really immersive! Signs were fab too if you decide not to use the guide! We were there for a good few hours soaking it all in! And it was fabulous to be dog friendly- as you can see our pup had a great time! Staff were wonderful! Very kind and helpful, and they know some extra knowledge not on the guides! Would definitely come back!

What an amazing place! Really informative hand held audo guides around the jail which closed in 1899 - some fascinating stories. The tour guides who were in character the whole time were so knowledgeable & exuded passion so it made the experience so worthwhile. Thoroughly recommend coming here to view a slice of history of beautiful Inverary.

This is the second time I've been to the jail and both times I was not disappointed. The guards in the jail were knowledgeable and enthusiastic, the ladies at the desk and in the shop were lovely. Having worked in a jail I found the place fascinating. Just the right amount of things to look at, read and interact with. Highly recommend using the audio that is supplied, really brings things to life. Great place for kids and adults alike.

What a brilliant morning we had here. So interesting and well worth the entry fee. Staff were extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Loved the women that locked my husband in the outdoor exercise yard. She was so funny. The conditions of the jails back then were appalling. The facts about the torture was also a real eye opener. A wet and windy day well spent at this attraction.

Imaginative recreation of Scottish Penal System, 18th/19th Century. Gruesome, harrowing. The standards of the day were incredibly harsh on prisoners. The tortures allowed by the law of that day would have the Gestapo reaching to borrow the text book. Truly horrendous. Some light relief is gained by visiting the mock-up of a trial of the era. Some audio material might have helped understanding of the process. The judge was my favourite. The languid half-asleep pose. Lulling defendant and counsel into a false sense of security, until they realise he has been very alert indeed.

The tour is absolutely fantastic,well laid out,the audio sets are really well linked into the cells and the various levels of the jail. You need fit to be able to go up through the various levels the stairs are well worn as you would expect in a building of this age but well worth it. The stories of the various prisoners and their confinement worth taking the time to read in the cells,definately a place you didn't want to be confined in and yet when read of the inmates and their sentences it was hard but fair

A very warm welcome from all the staff. My son has ASD and they were very kind and understanding. Lovely experience not having to worry about my son’s behaviour. He thoroughly enjoyed the jail and all the stories told through the audio device. Well worth a visit. Thank you 😊
