GIANT MACASKILL MUSEUM

Tigh na Bruaich, Dunvegan, Isle of Skye, IV55 8WA
Adults: £2.00 | Concessions: £1.50 | Children under 14: Free | Groups (10+): £1.50

The MacAskills settled on Skye in the 12th century before moving to Berneray in the Outer Hebrides, where Giant Angus was born in 1825. His family later relocated to Harris and then to Englishtown, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, where Angus died in 1863 at age 38.

The Giant MacAskill Museum in Dunvegan, opened in 1989, features a model of Angus, who stands as the world's tallest 'true' giant at 7ft 9in. The museum showcases his feats of strength, with information available in multiple languages, and includes replicas of his bed, table, and chair, while the originals are displayed in a museum in Englishtown run by the Giant MacAskill Heirs Association.
