Auchindrain

Auchindrain Township is an original West Highland village which has been brought back to life as an outdoor museum and interpretation centre. Once common throughout the Highlands, many of these settlements were abandoned at the time of the Clearances, while others were abandoned as people headed for cities such as Glasgow and Edinburgh to find work. Queen Victoria visited Auchindrain in 1875 when it was inhabited, and you can now see an approximation of what she saw. Most of the cottages and other buildings have been restored and furnished to explain the living conditions of the Highlanders in past centuries. The visitor centre also has displays on West Highland life, showing many farming and household implements.
