Based within a unique authentic survival of a central hearth homestead, of North European importance, dating to at least the 16C. John Hume, ex-Senior Inspector of Listed Buildings with Historic Scotland, famously described it as his favourite building in Scotland. The Kirbister complex also includes an 18C farmhouse, traditional byres and a putting green alongside an attractive stream. The museum gardens are peaceful and shady and the Custodian's interest in her subject is very obvious if you want a chat about the building's history.
