Upcoming Events
The museum is about to relaunch hosted talks, centred around various historical topics and events involving the regiments our museum covers.
As part of this relaunch, our first talk is later this month centred around the role of the New Army Battalions, mainly 5th, 6th and 7th Camerons during the Battle of Loos in WW1, in honour of the 110th anniversary of the Battle on 25th September 2025.
The talk is going to be held here at Fort George in the regimental chapel. Come join us at the Highlander’s Museum, Fort George, for a special event honouring the brave soldiers of the Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders on the 110th anniversary of the WW1 Battle of Loos.
Join WW1 expert Mike Taylor for a talk on the baptism of fire for the New Army Battalions of the Camerons, gain a better understanding of their experiences and learn about the German artillery gun they captured which is today held by the Clan Cameron Museum in Lochaber.
