Dunbeath Preservation Trust

About

We provide a heritage service to the local community, as well as to the tourism industry through several streams. The Old School/Heritage Museum, Accredited since 2001, exhibits our Collection (local records, Estate, Genealogy & archaeology) for the local community & tourism industry. We provide a secure Archive Repository for the local community to donate material, mount exhibitions of local interest and engage with the local schools/education bodies. Our services also include Genealogy (holding a good number of local family tree information), Archaeology (Caithness-wide artefacts on display) as well as having a focus on Neil M Gunn (well-known Dunbeath novelist). We provide a Research Facility, with our own collection of material, experienced staff & access to a wider academic base when required. Visitors can explore the area's rich historical, archaeological & literary landscape within the museum and are encouraged to explore the wider landscape.
