The museum is a centre for agricultural history and rural life. It was founded by Jean, Lady Maitland who gave her collections to the nation in the 1950s.[2] and it has been run by the National Trust for Scotland since 1976.[1]
The museum has been described as containing "one of Scotland's finest folk collections". [3]
