Easdale Folk Museum

Easdale Folk Museum An award winning museum on the tiny car free island of Easdale. The original curator, Jean Adams, was a direct descendant of a slate quarrier's family.

Easdale Island Folk Museum was set up in 1980 by the island's owner at that time, Chris Nicholson, and without his interest and support the museum would not be here today. It was Jean who, with the assistance of local residents and families associated with the island collected, collated and arranged the displays of artefacts, all of which originated in the locality. Jean, after 25 years sterling s

ervice, retired in 2006. The museum today is now owned by the community under the auspices of Eilean Eisdeal, the island charitable company who managed at relatively short notice to raise the necessary funding in conjunction with the Big Lottery to purchase the museum in 2008
