What to expect

Visit: The Gordon Highlanders Museum, St Luke's Viewfield Road, Aberdeen AB15 7XH Scotland

The Grant Room: Enter our main gallery and explore the dramatic 200-year history of the Regiment from the Napoleonic Wars, India, Afghanistan and South Africa, through to both World Wars and the Cold War. Interactive maps, original film footage, scale reproductions, life-size models, touch screens, regimental colours, uniforms, medals and weapons are all featured to bring the unique history of The Gordon Highlanders to life.

The Armoury: Step into the Armoury and come face-to-face with an impressive display of edged weapons, firearms and medals from Napoleonic times to the present day.

The Silver Room: Regimental Silver. Silver played an important part in the traditions of the regiments of the British Army. Officers’ and Sergeants’ Messes had their own silver, of which they were very proud. This was acquired in various ways; as booty (in the early days); bought from Mess funds (subscriptions from members of the Mess); donated by other regiments; or donated by individuals, usually to mark a significant event such as promotion, marriage or resignation. The silver would travel with a regiment or battalion, wherever they were stationed, and be in regular use in the Mess. Although silver was not taken on active service, it was still vulnerable to loss or capture.

The Lakin Room: The Lakin Room is arranged as the Officers’ Mess of The Gordon Highlanders and is decorated with some of the Regiment’s most treasured silver, crystal and china.

There is First World War trench that has been added to the grounds of this already impressive Museum . A young adult named Kirsty was our guide . All of the staff and volunteers have tremendous knowledge of the Gordon’s that really enhanced our visit . Don’t miss it

Had a nice breakfast roll with coffee, then a tour around the museum and gardens. Some say it is not so easy to follow the map, but you soon find your way around! The Grant room is full of military memorabilia, and even 5hough I visited before, I just realised that it is named after the Grant fam...
