The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Museum

The Castle, Stirling FK8 1EH

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 🏰

    A true gem inside Stirling Castle! Not only is it well organized and preserved as a museum, it also presents a fine military spectacle through its numerous authentic artifacts, flags, weapons, uniforms, marvelous paintings and provides a clear and concise history of the proud Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. An absolute must for any military history enthusiast visiting Scotland and a great source of inspiration for military personnel, motivated by heroism and quest for glory. Congratulations to all the museum's team members and special thanks to the CEO for the interesting conversation and his kind behavior!
