The Clan Cameron Museum was opened at Achnacarry in 1989 by Sir Fitzroy Maclean of Dunconnell. It contains displays relating to Bonnie Prince Charlie and the '45 Rising, a portrayal of the history of the Clan Cameron and artefacts relating to the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders. It also holds photographs and items from the time that British Commandos, along with their counterparts from America, France, Belgium, Holland, Poland, Yugoslavia and Norway, went through assault training courses at Achnacarry during the Second World War.
The Reading Room is the central repository for clan records relating to the Camerons of Lochiel, clansfolk (worldwide) in general and the Clan Cameron Association. It offers a relaxing, comfortable atmosphere for those undertaking research.
