Explore the Wax Model Collection – Now Open!
We’re excited to announce that the Edinburgh Wax Model Collection is open again. Entry is by donation, so feel free to stop by the farm shop and take a journey through Scotland’s history.

Opened in 1994, the Carmichael Visitor Centre is home to a range of unique experiences, including our Farm Shop, The Hideaway at Carmichael Estate, and the renowned Wax Model Collection. This fascinating exhibit brings to life Scotland’s millennium, from Queen Margaret and Macbeth to the present day, through realistic wax model scenes and detailed storyboards. These scenes also highlight local crafts and culture, offering a glimpse into the rural life of our district.

Discover the Carmichael Clan’s Rich History
Our Visitor Centre also includes the Carmichael Clan Room, dedicated to the thousand-year history of the Carmichael family, who have lived on this land for generations.
