Operational Changes Regarding Farm Animals
Due to operational changes, for the 2026 season livestock and farm animals will not be present on site at Baile nan Gàidheal | Highland Village Museum this year.
Four costumed interpreters sit around a long wooden table inside a historic room, laughing while participating in a traditional milling frolic. They are gathered closely, using their hands to rhythmically pull and bunch a large piece of cream-colored woven wool cloth across the surface of the slatted table.
