Findhorn Heritage Centre traces the village’s past from the Stone Age to modern times, with original objects, archive photographs and explanations of local life. It occupies a former salmon-fisher’s building beside the old Ice House, where displays tell how Findhorn’s fishing trade worked and how fish were stored for the English market. The centre also covers the area’s wildlife and wartime history. Take time to speak with the volunteers, who can add local stories to the exhibits.
Findhorn’s past in the village centre
The Heritage Centre follows Findhorn’s history from the Stone Age to modern times. Its displays combine original objects with archive photographs and explanations of the settlement and its people. Findhorn’s history and wildlife are also covered, giving the exhibits a local focus.
The centre is housed in a former salmon-fisher’s building at the northern end of the village. Its setting connects the displays to the fishing trade that once shaped Findhorn.
The old Ice House and salmon fishing
The nearby Ice House tells the story of Findhorn’s fishing industry. Salmon caught in the village was stored there before being sent to the English market. The building helps explain how the trade operated and why fish storage mattered to the settlement.
Explore the Ice House alongside the Heritage Centre for two related views of local history: the working practices of salmon fishing and the wider story of the village. Volunteers can share additional information and personal accounts of the area.
