Among the hills of Glencoe, the National Trust for Scotland is bringing the 17th century to life...
Inspired by archaeological excavations within the glen, our team of craftspeople have reconstructed a traditional, 17th century Highland home.
Join us for a guided tour of the building to learn about the history of the lost township of Achtriachtan and how past residents of Glencoe used natural, local materials to build their homes.
You may already know the story of how the MacDonalds were massacred in Scotland's most infamous glen... Now, come and see how they lived!

This tour begins at our Info Hub but does include a short walk outdoors to reach the Turf & Creel House itself. Waterproof clothing and sturdy footwear are recommended throughout the winter months - please use your own discretion and dress appropriately for the weather conditions.

This project would not have been possible without the kind donations made by visitors to Glencoe National Nature Reserve and the generous support of our members.
There is no charge to join this guided tour but donations are gratefully accepted and appreciated.
