THE MOFFAT TRENCH
No visit to the Museum would be complete without a visit to our fantastic WW1 Trench. Let our Museum Guides tell the story of the Gordon Highlanders during the First World War, whilst you experience and feel ‘trench-life’ for yourselves!
MUSEUM GARDENS
Our beautiful memorial gardens pay tribute to Gordon Highlanders of the past. A lovely place to visit at any time of the year, why not get lost in the tranquility of the setting when you arrive?
The Gordon Highlanders Museum Gardens, which had fallen into disrepair since the time of Sir George Reid, were extensively redesigned and laid out as a gift to the regiment by Dr Tom Smith in 1997. They are also testament to the hard work and commitment expended by all of the garden volunteers.
