The Gordon Highlanders Museum

Guide tour and all the staff were so welcoming and nice! Plus the cafe had a delicious gluten free cake!! The museum itself takes you through the history of the Gordon Highlander's batalion first with a video recap, and then through a series of vitrines exposing important objects and cloth items recapping each achievement.

A lovely history and museum of the Gordon Regiment. The staff are fantastic, full of knowledge and friendly. The cafe is nice and well priced. Both a haunting and humbling experience especially with the trenches.

Beautiful old building and nicely arranged exhibition. Try a guided tour if there is available. We really enjoyed the guided tour with a volunteer retired army officer. The trench outside the building is also very interesting

A wonderfully comprehensive museum, set in a beautifully historic building in Aberdeen. The exhibits are impressive, and you are given a phone recorded guide to go around the museum at your own pace. The staff are all enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and the tours are also child friendly.

A wonderful museum with an impressive collection. The building itself is pretty and has all the modern amenities which allow comfortable experience for guests of every age/ability. There's a lot to see inside, but it's not overdone. All exhibition rooms are well-designed and very aesthetic. There are also some interactive elements. I have to say you don't need to be a military freak to enjoy this. A lot of stuff like the silverware collection or little bits and pieces of soldiers' equipment can be interesting to everyone. I however am a freak so I especially enjoyed the weapons collection, medals from many different campaigns and of course the famous WW1 trench which is located on the outside. Sadly it was raining when I visited so I didn't take pictures, but on the other hand it only added to the experience. Hats off to the folks who designed and built it, it's a work of art. There was a young guide with us, who was super-passionate about WW1 and had a great storytelling talent. For more sensitive audience and kids this may be a slightly heavy topic, so keep that in mind. All in all, one of Aberdeen's top attractions. A definite must-see.
