    Amazing amazing experience. The museum is free entry and staff at the reception is very friendly. There is loads and loads of information to read therefore one day is not enough. The museum has two floors and in the ground floor you’ll explore the establishment of Fusilier forces and the in the first floor one will find the contribution of them during the 1st and 2nd world wars. Wealth of an experience. Will definitely be back!

    The young girl didn't accept cash donations that l raised for the museum. Ended up giving over £500 to a cat shelter instead. No one seemed to know how to do their job here too busy gossiping.

    If you have an interest in military history and especially Scottish military history this is your place. The staff and lovely and very welcoming. The museum displays great information about the Scottish units throughout history. I spent an hour here but a faster reader could do it in 30mins.

    Anyone interested in the history of Scottish regiments will be fascinated by this place. This is where to discover more about The Royal Highland Fusiliers and it's antecedent regiments The Royal Scots Fusiliers and the Highland Light Infantry. Great collection. The Museum was well run until March 2006 when it fell into the "stewardship" of dubious people such as the person who sent me an email today. Until the harridan from Honiton is exorcised from the building I suspect The Regimental Museum will be justifiably regarded as a "not very user-/visitor friendly" place.
