Venue Description

Unique amongst Scottish museums, our interpreters bring history to life, creating the most exciting kind of interactive experience. The 1825 Kitchen forms the centre-piece of this interactive experience and visitors can sample authentic Georgian food, listen to stories about life below stairs, and watch as kitchen staff go about their daily tasks. With a changing programme of temporary exhibitions and events, archives, gift shop, The Park Gallery and Tea Room and within walking distance of UNESCO World Heritage Site the Antonine Wall, a day out at Callendar House offers something for everyone.
