Cromarty Courthouse Museum
 invites you to explore one of Scotland's secrets
Our museum, in the town's eighteenth- century Courthouse, uses extensive research and enthusiasm for history to help you share in the story of Cromarty - past and present.
"The real treat [in the Black Isle] is ... Cromarty. The best way to get a sense of the town is to head straight for the excellent museum in the old Cromarty Courthouse ... which tells the history of the town using audio visuals and animated figures (... the kids love them)" The Rough Guide to Scotland

Courthouse plans ahead for 2010
 Following the success of the 2009 'From the Fishertown' exhibition  Courthouse trustees are planning ahead for the 2010 season.
This will be the centenary of writer Jane Duncan's birth and the Courthouse will be staging an exhibitionto celebrate her life and work the Courthouse.
We'll be looking at some of the well loved characters and Black Isle settings for her novels to discover more about their history and to look at how here writing reflects life on the Black Isle during her life time (1910 - 1976).
T he 'From the Fishertown' exhibition will continue to be shown and upstairs the Courtroom scene will still be in full swing, and there'll be period costumes for children to dress up in. We'll also have displays about medieval Cromarty, and the conservation work being carried out at the East Church.
A Highland Wedding with a difference
 In 2010 the Courthouse will be offering people to the chance to get married in a rather different setting.
Our civil wedding application has been approved, so weddings will be able to take place throughout the Courthouse building, and make use of the Courthouse grounds to the rear.
So if you fancy a stylish, yet different, type of wedlock get in touch with us at the Courthouse.
Take a look at our wedding pack to find out what we can offer.
You can see some press coverage of our plans in one of our local newpapers, the North Star.
