Peterhead Prison Museum
Peterhead Prison Museum, step back in time when you visit the former “HM Convict Prison, Peterhead” which officially opened in August 1888 to December 2013.
The former Victorian HM Convict Prison Peterhead is unique in that it sits within a 6 acre site, had the first state owned railway in the UK and part of the history saw the only time the SAS (Special Air Service) were used to end a domestic siege in mainland Britain.
Step back in time as you virtually tour.

The museum highlights the work of the brave personnel that served here between 1888 – 2013, you will visually see what “real” prison life was like, whilst listening to the officers speak of their experiences as part of the audio tour that accompanies your tour and your sense of smell will be stimulated as you enter the laundry, shower block and hospital areas’.
For a unique look at the stories “within these walls” Peterhead Prison Museum hope to welcome you soon.
