Here in this thatched cottage built c1698 by his great-grandfather was born Hugh Miller, on 10 October, 1802. Miller rose to international acclaim as a geologist, editor and writer. The furnished cottage contains an exhibition and video on his life and work. To the rear is a Scottish ‘wild garden’ of colourful native plants, redesigned to reflect Miller’s own love of nature. A reading room has been opened, offering visitors the chance to browse at leisure among Miller’s works. New artworks on display include a tapestry, sculpture and silver medallion.
The cottage was first opened to the public in 1890. It was handed over to the Trust by Cromarty Town Council in 1938.
