Angus Folk Museum is a museum in Glamis in Angus. It is owned by the National Trust for Scotland.

The museum is housed in a terraced row of six cottages built in 1793 and one farm steading. The buildings were given by Timothy Bowes-Lyon, 16th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne to house the museum collections. [1]

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]
