This film was produced in 2021 by Duncan Gorman, with additional footage supplied by Callum Black. Music credit: Gary Innes. Five short films have been produced by the Highland Folk Museum to tell the stories of five of the collections and historic buildings located at the open-air museum, by the people who know them. The project has been funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund, which is run by the Museums Association, funding projects that develop collections to achieve social impact.
