"Timespan is a cultural institution in Helmsdale, a village in the very north east of the Scottish Highlands, with local, global and planetary ambitions to weaponise culture for social change. Timespan is a place for art, research, heritage, local history, future propositions and action. We believe that cultural institutions are a political and public space which belong to society, and as such, have a responsibility to shape a brighter new world based on principles of equality, emancipation and inclusion."

Fantastic resource for local history. Jackie the historian was *extremely* helpful with allowing us access to some of the archive and we were repeat visitors to the excellent cafe. Availability of cake was inconsistent but the coffee was good.

Well laid out and presented exhibition of Helmsdale history. Not too big. Less than an hour adequate to see. Superb Carribean food in the cafe - a must visit. Sit outside, watch the ducks, kittiwakes and herons on the river.

This museum was a little treat. You can easily take everything in within an hour, fascinating history of the town and also a fun reconstruction of old buildings. Really enjoyed the display taking you through the area through the eyes of historic locals. Recommend for a pit stop or longer!

Amazing local museum that's just been shortlisted for museum of the year! Now in the top 5, final will be announced later in September. The upstairs of the museum still not open but really good displays downstairs explaining the history of the area. Lovely shop and amazing cafe on the banks of the river, currently serving Caribbean food with a great atmosphere. Helmsdale is a great place to stop if you're on the Nc500 and this museum is definitely worth visiting and supporting the local community.

Every time I've passed before it's closed so was great to finally visit. Just got back from a prehistoric day up the strath. Very good museum exhibition. Interesting CGI film about the history of Helmsdale. Small fee for entry but worth it. Sat by the river with a coffee afterwards and at one point the table tried to take off in the wind Enjoyed the geological garden.

This is a great place to come and learn about the effect of the clearances, what happened to those that remained, the crofts and the survival of the communities.Staff are very helpful, museum is informative and cafe is lovely.
