The West Highland Museum is situated opposite the tourist office in Cameron Square. Furniture, paintings and tools used in the production of whisky during the 19th century are on display including "quaichs", special bowls for drinking, and also old bottles, plus weapons, everyday objects and Highland costumes. Also look out for the documents relating to the opening of the West Highland Railway in 1894 and the celebrated conquests of Ben Nevis, notably that by Henry Alexander who in 1911 drove a Ford Model T to the summit.
