There are also cells to see and a small shop. The staff were very friendly and informative. Free entry but a donation is welcome.…

If you find yourself driving in the Scottish countryside near Inverness, make your way to the small and charming town of Cromarty. The museum is housed in the 18th-century town courthouse. The museum holds documents relating to the town's history, including deeds, charters, and other legal documents. Our favorite spot in this historic site is the court itself. With wood-paneled court boxes and mannequins representing various court figures you can really get a feel for court proceedings. Read our full review at testedtravel.com…
