It is virtually unchanged and has some rooms furnished as they would have been at different times in its history. The museum has an archive that I found very useful when initially researching my GGF. Fort George railway station opened in 1855 and Aberlour Station in 1863 so it would not have been difficult to get between the two places. In July 1866 the 'right wing' of the 62nd had been stationed at Gosport and sailed from Portsmouth for Queenstown. The 'left wing' were on detached duty in Weymouth and going to join them. They seem to have been in Butievant in late 1867.
