Helmsdale’s Timespan Museum in The Highlands

Discover the local and social history of the parish and the people of Helmsdale and embark on a journey from the open sea to the river mouth upstream and in towards the mainland to the Strath of Kildonan! The Timespan Museum focuses on various different points in the history of the local area, from witchcraft to Pictish mythology, there is something unique for everyone to uncover at Timespan Museum!

The collection found at the Timespan Museum tells the history of their parish and its place in the world, with over 2000 objects of historical significance, including arts and crafts, archaeology, national, and social history.

The Timespan Museum also has a team of professional genealogists who can provide information and undertake research on behalf of the guests!
