Frommer's Review
This museum has paintings that illustrate the town's history, as well as archaeological artifacts. The growth of the whisky industry and its major role in the area's economy is particularly emphasized. You find everything from grandfather clocks to Georgian silver to an effigy of a 29kg (65-lb.) salmon caught by some proud fisherman back in 1922. The most notable artworks are large Scottish landscapes by John Millais (1829-96). Horatio McCulloch (1805-67) was known as a specialist of Highland scenes, and his Loch Katrine (1866) is one of his finest works.
