Museum team and visitors heading down the beach on horseback.

Four costumed interpreters sit around a long wooden table inside a historic room, laughing while participating in a traditional milling frolic (luadh). They are gathered closely, using their hands to rhythmically pull and bunch a large piece of cream-colored woven wool cloth across the surface of the slatted table. In the background, the room features white walls with red window trim, a spinning wheel, and wooden shelving.

Milling Frolic

Experience

Come and join us at the table for songs and friendly conversation at the Highland Village milling frolic. The Gaels way to make the cloth ready for home use was too wet it, beat it and make a time of it, while communally singing choral songs in rhythm during the milling frolic.
