The Highland People Discovery Museum
Visit the main building of the Highland People Discovery Museum. It opens at 08:30 on weekdays, so you will have the space to yourself. Explore the exhibits on the peninsula before heading out.
09:15
Walk 12 minutes to Sky Café for an espresso. The description notes that horses are often bathed in the pond across the road around 11:00, making this a good window to arrive before the midday rush.
10:00
Walk 7 minutes to the Weekend Flea Market. This is the place to grab a snack or browse for unique items like wood carvings or Buddha amulets. It is open until 16:00, so you have plenty of time to wander.
Local tip
The museum is closed on weekends. If you are visiting Saturday or Sunday, skip the museum step and head straight to the flea market or Sky Café, as the market is open weekends but the museum is not.
