The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Museum

The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Princess Louise’s) was created under the Childers Reforms in 1881 by the amalgamation of the 91st Argyllshire Highlanders (raised 1794) and 93rd Sutherland Highlanders (raised 1799) but traces its history back to the raising of the Stirlingshire Militia in 1639.

    A very interesting museum that is full of artifacts relating to the Argyll and Sutherland's Regiment. The building is not accessible to people who use a wheelchair. There are steps to access the building, and it has steps between the floors. To access the museum you need a Stirling Castle ticket. It is best to buy these in advance. There is a one-way system around the museum. It has a souvernir shop which had some nice items at a reasonable price.

    We visited in July 2024. A great museum housed in the grounds of Stirling Castle. I recently discovered that my grandfather was in this regiment. I am so happy we got to see the exhibits. Please do go in if you are at the Castle 🏰

    This museum is included as part of the visitor experience at Stirling Castle. It is a fascinating museum and there are some guides to answer questions. I was delighted to meet a war veteran he was a gentleman. I liked the lay out and it was all so well ordered you will need at least a good hour to appreciate the history of the regiment. It was busy but not too crowded I was so glad I was early as I had time to enjoy and did not feel rushed along by the crowds.

    The Museum traces over 200 years of one of Scotland’s elite military regiments - The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. The Museum traces the history of the 91st Argyllshire Highlanders and the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders up to the time of their amalgamation in 1881 when they became the 1st and 2nd Battalions of The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Regiment and thereafter to the present day. The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders was expanded to fifteen battalions during the First World War (1914–1918) and nine during the Second World War (1939–1945). The 1st Battalion served in the 1st Commonwealth Division in the Korean War and gained a high public profile for its role in Aden during 1967.
