Hugh Miller's Birthplace Cottage & Museum
Description

Hugh Miller’s Birthplace Cottage & Museum in Cromarty celebrates prominent 19th-century Highland polymath, Hugh Miller – an eminent geologist, writer and social commentator. Today the Georgian villa, Miller House, is a museum which presents his life and work, while the iconic thatched fisherman’s cottage beside it was his birthplace and early home.
A peaceful garden and picturesque courtyard completes the visitor experience, which will appeal to those with keen eyes and lively minds. In the words of the great man himself, ‘Life is itself a school and nature always a fresh study’. We hope you enjoy discovering Hugh and his world.

Can't wait to see this back again. I spend all my time gazing at the countryside...(murder? What murder...?)
Although officially closed to the public, this morning we welcomed a passing visitor, a gentleman and his wife on holiday from Devon and flying back today. We guided the gentleman around the cottage (going carefully passed the boxes of stock) and assured him that, come opening day on Easter Saturday, the cottage would once more be neat and tidy. In returned, our visitor asked if he could purchase a guide book, so we happily opened up the till and made our first sale of the new season. One good turn deserve another!
