About us
The Museum is run by volunteers from the Largs & District Historical Society, which is a registered Scottish Charity (SCIO - number SC001454).
Our purpose is to promote and maintain an interest in the history of the communities of Largs, Fairlie and Skelmorlie by holding exhibitions, meetings, lectures, and classes for schools and other groups within the communities of the area to learn about our history.
We also assist with the preservation of local historical remains eg., the 17th-century Skelmorlie Aisle, and the Haylie Neolithic Chambered Cairn.
As custodians of the Museum’s historical records and artefacts, we believe that these should be accessible to all locals and we will therefore always strive to ensure that admission is Free.
