A little out of TMA's remit, concentrating on Pictish stones and early Christian cross-slabs, as well as temporary exhibitions of local history subjects.
Opening hours are seasonal, so check before visiting.
We visited October 2012. The stones and slabs on display are amazing, beautifully carved and nicely displayed. There is a short video about Pictish stones that's well worth watching. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Nice gift-shop with a decent book selection too.
It's a small musuem, so more than about half a dozen visitors at a time might seem rather cramped! |

| Excellent musuem with an extensive display of prehistoric items, stone balls, axes, beakers, etc as well as some lovely Pictish stones. |

A lovely unspoilt pub, cool on a hot day, serving very decent bitter (Tinner's) and some frightening local cider. Large beer-garden or shady interior, also serves pub food. Well worth a visit after a hard day's stone spotting! No telly, no fruit machines, perfect!
The website features a prominent photo of the Quoit.
Accommodation is available but I haven't stayed so can't comment on that. |

"The fleeting hour of life of those who love the hills is quickly spent, but the hills are eternal. Always there will be the lonely ridge, the dancing beck, the silent forest; always there will be the exhilaration of the summits. These are for the seeking, and those who seek and find while there is still time will be blessed both in mind and body." Alfred Wainwright
