The Angus Folk Museum houses one of Scotland’s finest folk collections. The six exquisite 18th Century cottages were built to house the Estate workers and can be seen opposite the farm steading.
The cottages house the domestic section and enlighten you to how the rural workforce lived so many years ago. You can see the changes that the Angus countryside underwent over the past two hundred years in your visit to the steading.
The restored 19th Century black horse-drawn Glenisla hearse and the Lawton Lad Traction Engine are part of the collection. A traction engine is a wheeled steam engine used to move heavy loads, plough ground or to provide power. They are also known as road locomotives.
The collection was brought about by Jean, Lady Maitland. While the steading building was donated by The Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne.
