It's the Glenesk Folk Museum - made up of some 30,000 artefacts that have been gathered together entirely from the glen since 1955.
These include items that other museums want us to send their way, like basket-hilt swords and 18th century plaids, illicit three-neck whisky stills and a few of Queen Victoria's dresses. The old Queen was a frequent visitor to the glen, and The Queen's Well is now a monument to one of her favourite picnic spots.
And, yes, there is an on-line shop. I source quality vintage Highland dress items (mostly sporrans from the 1930s - 1960s) and put my own-make sporrans alongside them.
You'll find the museum online, but they are in the process of changing over their till system, so the shop listings are a bit out of date at the moment.
In other words, your bank account might be safe until it's properly up and running again..!
