Collection history (Collection development policy)
In May 1943, the contents of Cluny Castle, the hereditary home of the Chiefs of Clan Macpherson, was sold by public auction in Glasgow. Fortunately, many of the relics were purchased for the Clan by subscription from clan members and these were to form the basis of the collection for the Clan Museum, which was purchased in 1951 and opened the following year. The collection has since been added to over the years, largely by the world-wide membership of the Clan Macpherson Association.
