Strathnaver Museum is housed in the former Parish Church of Farr, telling the story of 8,000 years of human occupation in north-west Sutherland, from Norse and Gaelic heritage to the brutal Highland Clearances. Inside you'll find an eclectic collection including a Bronze Age burial beaker, an early 19th century croft house display, agricultural and fishing tools, a dog skin buoy, militaria, Clan Mackay memorabilia and contemporary art. It suits visitors interested in Highland history and culture. The Annex is fully accessible, though the main building's upper floor is not due to its historic structure. It's open seasonally with varying hours. For a stay nearby, BritStays lists 6 bookable places to stay within 5 miles.
