Highland Museum of Childhood in Strathpeffer closes season with special festive open night and treasure hunt

A ROSS-SHIRE museum dedicated to preserving the experience of children down the years closed its season in fitting fashion with a special festive invitation.

The Highland Museum of Childhood is based at the old Victorian railway station in the spa village of Strathpeffer and contains a treasure trove of items – including toys and dolls – that have been popular with kids down the years.

The well-received event prompted thanks from some of those taking part. Jillian Quigley posted: "Thank you for a fun treasure hunt. We all had a lovely time."

The museum said it "was lovely to see so many folk in the museum and around the Old Station".

It is now closed until spring.

See this week's Ross-shire Journal for more pictures from the event.
