Admission

Historylinks is a registered charity and relies on income from the shop and admission charges to keep the museum open and maintain and develop exhibitions and displays.

Disabled adults are charged but accompanying carers are free.

Displays

The Historylinks Trust aims to make presentation and interpretation as clear as possible. Much of the display is a graphic interpretation of the story of Dornoch. This is supplemented by 3 films as well as the usual display cases.

There are hearing loops in the reception and video display area.

Text (font, size and contrast) is always designed and positioned wherever possible along NMS guidelines for maximum intellectual access

Translations

Translations in selected European languages of the core exhibition are now available French, German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish and Gaelic and will be extended as opportunities arise.

Physical access

There are no restrictions to physical access. The museum is all on one level.

The museum will try and help with all enquiries.

By prior request items* from the collection can be examined at Historylinks at a mutually agreed time and date. A minimum of 5 days notice is normally required.
