The Gordon Highlanders Museum
About The Gordon Highlanders Museum
The Gordon Highlanders Museum is a multi award winning 5* VisitScotland visitor attraction located in the west end of Aberdeen. The Museum tells the story of The Gordon Highlanders Regiment from 1794 - 1994. Did you know that the last Colonel – in – Chief of The Gordon Highlanders was The Duke of Rothesay, now known as King Charles, so we have a real Royal connection!
As well as the museum, we have an outdoor full-size WW1 replica trench and a Victorian Walled Garden and Cafe on site. Highlights include, The Armoury and Medals Room, The Silver Room, The Officers Mess and D Day Exhibition also one of the largest collections of Victoria Crosses.
We offer a range of group experiences.
