The last and best preserved example of a Scottish township. Today it stands much as it did in the late 1700s after surviving the Highland Clearances.

@Unde18973Dennis We reopened this week (Mon-Thur). The museum is now in 'winter mode', which means the visitor centre is closed, but entry is at reduced fee. Tickets must be booked online on our website.

Great to see so many families and the children enjoying our activities. Our curators are concerned that our mini ‘drystane dyke’ will soon need planning permission!
