About
The only survivor of the farm townships where most highlanders lived untill 200years ago. Life as it was before crofting and modern farming - people and cattle together under one roof, the cycle of the seasons, everyone working together.
Set in the beautiful and dramatic Argyll landscape, the 21 acre site contains all the community’s buildings - houses, barns, cartsheds and stables. Wander through the township, see where the animals grazed, explore the longhouses where cattle and people lived under one roof, and find out about the runrig system of working the land. Learn why a modern timber house was built here in the 1950s.
