The Courthouse is delighted to be one of six Highland museums taking part in a project with XpoNorth and Smartify – the world’s most popular museum app. Having a presence on Smartify gives the Courthouse a global audience, enables us to create curated tours and to showcase objects that aren’t normally on display. You can take a tour with authors David Alston and Nicole Bontemps exploring Cromarty’s historic links to the Transatlantic slave trade or browse through some of our collection dating from the bronze age to the twentyfirst century. You can be a virtual visitor to the Courthouse or use the app to enhance an in person visit.

“Highland history is now being showcased alongside a world-class selection of museums, and is given an equal presence on the platform. The app really champions small museums and values the stories they have to tell, and we’re excited about sharing our heritage with the world.”

(Freya Samuel, Digital Engagement Curator at the Highlanders’ Museum)
