Volunteer-run, and celebrating Abernethy in Perthshire. Visit us to learn about Picts, Romans, kirks, witches, spuds and occasional ghosts.

We've been described as a . The Museum of Abernethy is entirely volunteer run; entry is FREE but donations are gratefully accepted! We have a range of exhibits covering different aspects of local life through the centuries, from the 3,000 year old logboat recovered in 2007 to daily life in more modern times - there's a lot to learn about the local area! We're keen to hear all your stories about life in Abernethy - from going to the shops to going to the berries, we'd love to know about it! If you'd be interested in talking to us about your life in Auld Abernethy, drop us a line at [email protected] and we can arrange to come and have a chat. Enquiries about local history are also welcomed - please do bear in mind that we're all volunteers so it might take a day or two to get back to you, but we'll always reply! Keep an eye out in the new year for info on events taking place in the museum - we look forward to seeing you all when we re-open next spring.

What a brilliant end to our season of events we've had! From tales of supernatural goings on (and, oddly, sewers!) with Elaine Thomson on Friday to catching up with Perthshire's best ghost hunters (and ghosts 😂) last night, it's been an absolute blast. Thank you to everyone who supported our events this weekend and throughout the summer - we couldn't have done it without you all!

Guisers of Abernethy! A HUGE thank you from all of us at Museum HQ for once again helping us banish those pesky ghosts back where they belong... and thanks also to all the mums, dads, aunties, uncles, and other responsible adults - the kids were brilliant and we loved seeing them all. Same time next year...

It's worse than we thought - these pesky ghosts are *everywhere* and Social Media Guru is tearing her hair out (this is really not a good look and actually scarier than any of the ghosts so we're not posting a pic in the interests of those of a nervous disposition). Abernethy, you know what to do! Swing by from 6pm and help us banish them for another year...

There are a few tickets still available so you can pay on the door (cash only, sorry!) - get your spook on before you head out to the community pub... Doors are at 7pm, and we're really looking forward to seeing you all 👻
